500ml brown bottle from the brewery that pours a deeper amber colour with golden highlights, a frothy light-beige head, good retention and full foamy lacing. Getting a little infections, sour notes, with the cereal-fruity maltiness. Nice, tiny bubble carbonation and active. The taste shows a little sour-infection as well, but the grain is dark enough to take over in the end. Some decent grassy hops lingers, but not overly dry - which is fine for the style. Even though a light sign of infection, still a drinkable regular amber lager.

Clear light brown ale with a thin off white head. A light diluted malt aroma. In mouth, a rather diluted brown ale, like something they rinsed from the fermentor with water, and put in a keg. Watery like crazy. On tap at brewery, July 28 2007.
