Clear golden coloured body with a thin white head and a bunch of bubbles rising from the bottom of the glass. Aroma of crisp malt, alcohol, light earth and a touch of grain, all with some dry flavours and a dose of hay. Light-bodied; Strong grassy flavour at first with a nice fresh crisp malt flavour and little else, along with some mild sugars and a touch of hay -nothing really too strong here, either. Aftertaste shows the grain and alcohol and not much else - mild and bubbly without much else. Overall, a very subdued beer without much flavour at all, but showing some dry malt and grasses and a deep hay flavour. I sampled this 350 mL can purchased from City’Super! at Harbour City, in Kowloon, Hong Kong on 29-July-2017 for HK$19,00 sampled on the streets of Hong Kong on 30-July-2017.
