Sampled from 0.33 l bottle during Borefts 2017, bottled in May 2017, thanks Nils! Clear, golden yellow with a white head. Sweetish, slightly grassy aroma of grains and some straw. Moderately sweet, slightly grassy taste of grains, straw and some bread, followed by a short, moderately bitter, slightly grassy finish. Thin to medium body, smooth and slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Okay for what it is.

Bottle shared by Zlotta at Borefts 2017, thanks Jan. Clear deep golden color. Off white head. Aroma's: grain, sweet, adjunct grain. Retronasal it's stale, carboard, sweet. Flavor is moderate sweet in a bad way. Light bodied. No finish. Nice for the country tick, but utterly forgettable otherwise.

Thanks to SinH4 I think but not sure. 330 ml. bottle sampled @ Borefts 2017. Day 1. Ingredients list local starch, sweet! Clear golden. Nose is unpleasant, corn, starch (which cannot save it). taste is oddly bread, oily starch malt but also awful vegetable corn. Oily, thicker than expected but not good, not a huge surprise there.

Bottle. Clear amber color with tiny tan ring. Aroma is grains, caramel, straw. Taste is grainy, caramel, cardboard. Sticky mouthfeel. Boring and pretty meh, but it has some body at least.

22/IX/17 - from bottle @ Borefts Bierfestival 2017 (Bodegraven) - BB: n/a (2017-1617) Thanks to ratebeerians and friends for sharing today's beers and Zlotta specifically for this country tick!
Pretty pale yellowish beer, small irregular white head, unstable, bit adhesive. Aroma: very malty, grains, bit metallic, wet cardboard. MF: ok carbon, light body. Taste: very malty, metallic, grains, cow fodder. Unimpressive, but wasn't expecting much else. ;-)
