Many thanks to Sean for this bottle. The beers tarts fresh with hints of grain. Not too much aroma, hints of sweetish wheat. Hints of sourness in the background, not too special.

Bottle thanks to big bro. Clear light golden yellow coloured pour with a thin white head. Aroma is semi sweet grains, light caramel, little creamy. Flavour is composed of pale grains, little toffee and not much else. Pretty plane with a little creamyness. Palate is moderate carbonation, grainy on the tongue. OK not much to it.

A perfectly drinkable if slightly average lager. There’s really not much to note about it. It’s mellow which marks it ahead of many of the mass produced lagers.

LAF as in, "Are you havin’ a ?". A buttery mess of a beer. Not very good.
