Aroma: Inoffensive, clean.
Appearance: Light golden, clear body. Mild carbonation. Tiny head which soon dissipates.
Taste: Not as crisp as I had hoped. Quite bland actually. Would benefit from additional hops and carbonation.
Palate: Thin, watery body. Light mouthfeel. Very little alcohol flavour on the finish.
Overall: Not a bad lager, but certainly not a great one. Too flat, too flabby.

Bottle from Alesela
Light straw...crystal clear...big frothy white head....good lacing
Aroma is light - spicy hops, some citrus hops, light pale malts
Taste of spicy light grassy hops...some citrus...good light sweet pale malt background - light flavour overall but good for a lager
Palate - soft carb, light to medium body, light sweet malts and some bitterness, smooth, slightly oily texture. Finish - sweet malt and spicy hops lingers a little with a bit of bitterness.
Overall - Light in aroma and flavour but it’s a good lager - far far better than the macro crap - underrated here IMHO (No way it deserves RB of 28) - maybe it’s better bottled?

330 ml bottle @ BAJT on November 24. Sampled thanks to a friend. Pours pale golden with a fluffy white head that dissipates while leaving some trace on the glass. Smell is stale and spicy with some wood and peat. Taste is very sweet with wood, vanilla, some sweet fruits and a slight hoppy bitterness. Finish is malty sweet.

Bottle at a friend’s wedding. It pours golden yellow, with a thin fluffy white head. The nose is pine forest, hawthorn, floral and butter. The taste is lemon, lime, hay, butter, American cream soda and straw, with a decent bitter finish. Light to moderate body and soft, fine carbonation. Well balanced and refreshing. Decent.

50cl. It pours a pale golden, steady bubbles and very generous head, in fact an excellent head for a lager and it hangs around almost indefinitely. The nose has pale matt, a touch of sweetcorn and maybe even a metallic note. On the taste there is more of the sweetcorn and metal but a lack of much malt. The palate is well balanced - bigger than expected structure, a creamier than expected texture and a very zingy clean finish. Overall, not the tastiest beer but looks great and very well balanced.
