Bottle. Gold in color. Not bad but not great. Aroma is bread and hay. Taste was light and not as bitter as some pilsners.

Bottle: Deep golden color with a thin white head. Nose is thick with biscuity and malty tones. A touch of grass. Sweet up front with a drier, breadier and floral tail. Crisp overall sensation. Not bad. Thanks Lithy.
