Can 0.5l. Lightly cloudy, deep gold colored. AROMA- decent, citrusy, floral, spicy, nice lemongrass tones, touch of vanilla. FLAVOR- neutral to slightly sweet, dry and lightly bitter finish, malty, herbal, pleasant lemongrass again, some pine. Medium bodied. Good. Very good for 8°P.

Canned from BaseCamp. Murky orange body, off white head. lemongrass-driven aroma, lovely lemongrass on some dry bready maltiness. Dry taste and, again, the lemongrass presence is lovely, but the malty presence is slightly too dry-bready taste-wise, mild herbal hops show up too, and it feels slightly more than the stated 8 IBUs. As it warms, the lemongrass wins over and turns this into a pretty pleasant beer - but the base underneath is a bit ho-hum, not bad mind, it doesn't get into the way too much, but it's not in sync fully with the star of the beer. All in all, solid summer beer, I'd drink a few easily.
