Bottle: Lighter amber coloured, clear, smaller lacy off-white head, sweetish - but mainly bitter - flavour; delicate caramelly-toasty nose; very light bodied; shorter Pilsner-like finish. Not amusing...

Bottle. It’s a clear, light amber beer topped by a small, dense, light beige head. The aroma is very weak, with some smoked hints and a generic fruityness. Caramel maltyness too. It’s medium bodied, with soft carbonation. The flavor is lighlty bready, with caramel hints, some smoke and a touch of fruityness. Bready finish. Well, I’m sure there’s some whisky influence in this one, but it ain’t much, and it’s sure a boring one. 121110
