Flat and warm…hard to say that this was inviting and good. Hard to give a decent rating also.
Golden color with a white layer on top. Mild aroma. Medium body. Flat carbonation. Tad sweet and a mild bitterness. Malty and herbal flavor.

Sampled @ GBBF day 1. Clear yellow golden color, average sized white head. Smell and taste malts, moderately bitter. Something a bit off in the aroma though, I get a hint of vomit. Flavor is ok, bit boring but ok.
