330ml bottle [thanks to Aziz iterum]. Clear, orangey golden colour with small, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Rather weak, sweet-ish, grainy, minimally bready aroma. Taste is sweet-ish, bready and minimally grainy, pale malty, moderately bitter hoppy; slightly oily texture. Clean, refreshing, drinkable.

Bottle. Pours golden with whiteish head. The head doesn’t stay. Aroma is sweet, grainy, malty. Flavor follows the nose. Finish has some dry bitterness. Overall: rather bad.

(Bottle, 0.33 l, thanks martjoobolut, 20150926) The beer poured golden and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had sweetness and cardboard. Palate was light bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were sweetness and cardboard. Aftertaste was sweet. A poor pale lager.
