375ml bottle @ MTG II tasting at Rich’s Welfare Pad. Probably shouldn’t rate this given the amount I salvaged from the bottle, but well... Pours what appears to be a typically faro golden amber with a light haze. Aroma is sweet brown sugar. Taste is sweet, sugary with dark fruits and a low carbonation.

Bottle at a tasting. Decidedly sugary, caramelly. Light to moderate grassy resiny hoppiness, slightly lemony. Sourness is light and very very clean, almost too clean for me to believe it naturally developed. Easy drinking but that is about its biggest virtue.
