Clear light golden, white head. Grassy, malty and grainy aroma. Sweet malty flavour, slightly sugary and grainy. Not the worst.

Bottle at wpbf. Clear golden color, small white head. Fruity apple aroma. Light-bodied. Also has lots of green apple. Low bitterness. Typical tropical lager.

Bottled@wPBF III. Yellowish golden colour, small white head. Aroma is herbs overdose, floral and some grainy notes. Flavour is herbal, grass and mild earthiness. Actually quite surprisingly fresh and nice.

sample @ wPBF Ⅲ
Aroma is odd with butter, herbal and floral tones. Also mellow cardboard tones. Fees musty. Flavour has herbs, some grainy malt, mint and grassy hops. A bulk lager above average.
