A very clean, flaxen-coloured beer with wonderful thirst-quenching properties. The subtle blend of aroma and bittering hops give a crispness on the tongue which is delicately fruity, giving way to some dryness. The inclusion of flaked maize in the grist subtly hints at crisp corn flavours.

Flaske 500ml fra Kjeller 5. Veldig lys gyldengulbrun. Svakt uklar. Høyt kremaktig skum som daler sakte. Svakt metallisk aroma. Smaken har antydning til gress. Litt tynn. Litt syrlighet i ettersmaken. Bra tørsteslukker.

Cask @ OT. Lovely smooth and drinkable beer with heavy bread notes and a very fresh flowery hop profile.

Cask @ Glue Pot, Swindon. Straw, almost transparent, with a thin white head. Light aroma of honey and malt with vinous overtones. Surprisingly sweet taste, like a gentler version of Summer Lightning without the astringency. Long sweet nectary finish. Weak mouthfeel. Good beer, but slight and unassertive.

500ml bottle. Clear pale golden colour, foamy white head that dissipates away and aroma of cereal grains, corn, hay. Sweetish biscuity cereal corn flavour with a grassy metallic bitterness. Light bodied, well carbonated, dry metallic bitter finish. OK.
