On tap at the comedy bar waiting for Jimmy Pardo.
Clear pale golden pour, small white head. Aroma of cheap grains, corn, and cooked veggies. Low carb, watery mouthfeel. Grassy, corny finish. Pretty bad.

On tap. Pours a clear golden with a small white head that laces. Sweet aroma of bready malt and grain. Sweet flavour of biscuity malt, corn and a light grassy bitterness in a crisp finish. Light body with a watery texture and average carbonation.

On tap. Pours a clear gold with light head. Light aromas of cereal. Flavors of bready grain and corn sugar. Easy to drink and not offensive but no character.

Bottle courtesy of Ingo (non-RB). Pours golden with a small white head that doesn’t leave much trace on the glass while dissipating. Smell is tiny sour with cereal, lemon zest, hay and cardboard. Taste is tiny sweet, tiny bitter and tiny malty with cereal, old bread, hay and lemon zest. Mouthfeel is soft, tiny round and light bodied. Finish is tiny sweet, slightly bitter and tiny malty with cereal, bread, hay and lemon zest. Smells pretty bad but goes down easily…

Can, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma and flavour brings out light herbal notes, grassy notes and crisp biscuity malt. Not bad, nothing offensive, but not interesting. Drinkable.

Trop peu de tout en fait... Elle manque de mordant mais a quand même un petit côté floral et de miel on dirait. Je n’en achèterai pas d’autres, désolé.
