2oz. Appearance: a bit murky dark copper. Aroma: unfermented honey, very yeasty, sweet, dirty. It's complex, but not very pleasant. Taste: along the same lines, sweetness partially covers yeasts, but it doesn't really help, unfortunately. Overall: it sounds much better than it tastes, it's definitely a bad attempt on this one, unfortunately. Very harsh and unbalanced.
