Bottle. Pours bit unclear, mildly darker blonde. Smell is nice, fresh, tempered fruityness from the hops, soft creamy maltbase. Taste is medium bitter, highly phenolic, making the beer dry and bandaid-like ( still OK, but could be better if toned down ! ) mild fruityness. Peppery finish ( phenols ) that don't belong in this style. Agreeable mouthfeel and even carbonation ( usually, BE beers are way to high in carbo. This is not, which really fits the style well ! )
