Pours clear blonde, small white head . Smell is fresh, bit grainy. Taste is bit bitter. Not as sweet as expected . Actually - tastewise - it tasted a damn lot like a lager ... I’ll be damned .

4 fl. oz sample at the brewery. Pale yellow in the glass, small white head. Low yeasty on the nose. Starts grainy with malt. Real good malty. Like a Export/Helles. Maybe a little bit too low carbonated.
