Thank you jmgreenuk. 500 ml. bottle sampled @ Pre-Borefts Ratebeer Tasting 2016. Clear pale golden, little white head. Nose is mellow sweet paper, bread, sugar, neutral. Taste is dull cereal, sugar, rice, sugar, bland, neutral no bad notes. Quite bland, boring, hollow. Given that this is a German styled lager made with rice, this is pretty decent for what it is even it isn’t all that good.
