Can 50 cl. Courtesy of my cousin Martin. Clear golden with a rough white head. Odd fruity and phenollic aroma. Light body, carbonation is low, overripe fruit, loads of cardboard. Hardly any hops - somewhat skunky and metallic finish. Horrible really. 220611

Can. A clear one, almost without head. Some white bubbles. Lots of nothing on the nose, a touch of fruityness as well. Not bad, just meaningless. The flavor follows the same pattern, a touch of fruityness to go with lots of nothing. The body reminds me of something Jesus is supposed to have walked on to everyones surprise. Quite low on carbonation too. Finish? Nah, not much of that either, a little metallic touch chimes in. Ok, so it’s beer, but I wouldn’t be proud to be the maker of this one, even though it’s not very flawed. 110122
