330ml bottle. Pours dark gold with a medium sized white head. Aroma is pipeline water, rice, sweet malt. Taste is caramel, sugar, grass, malt, faint booze. Sweet finish. Bad, but just about drinkable.

330ml bottle courtesy of minutemat. Cheers! Poured a clear light amber colour with a short-lived, frothy white head. The aroma is yeast and corn. The flavour is moderate bitter and sweet, with a crisp, sweet toffee, herbal, woody hop bitter palate. Medium to light bodied with average carbonation.

330ml bottle as part f a delivery from U&I Drinks and drunk at home. Mid-gold and clear with a small white head. Grainy, corny, malty like many poor pils. Incredibly sweet, like her infused with corn syrup. A slow burn vegetal aftertaste. Fairly full oily body with medium carbonation. Honestly? It's not too bad for the style.

"The beer is dark golden in colour with a thick foam top. It smells malty and tastes of malt and grains. Dominantly sweet before a short bitterness towards the finish. Not too bad but a little to sweet for my liking." - beersoftheworldproject.wordpress.com
