Golden ale with a white head. Light non-descript malty aroma. Boring lager taste, chalky notes and light watery bodied.

Bright golden brown colour. Light malty aroma. Light palate. I’ve had this better before - like 2 weeks ago when it was fresh and nutty tasting - but OK Spring’s beers don’t hold up well apparently. Very fresh, both this and the 1516 seem fine, tasty even. The trick is getting them fresh. If you don’t win that gamble, this is what you get.

Golden-straw colour with haze. Bready malt aroma. Zippy carbonation. The palate shows some hop crispness, with bread notes. Nothing too special. Slightly fruity notes in the finish. Kind of dull for a helles.

Bottle. Golden-straw colour; light malt nose - bread crust- with light noble hops. Soft body with sweet bready notes, but lighter than the draught, where the bread was very assertive. Crisp finish. Light earthy hop notes. Zippy carbonation. Definitely less assertive this time around, more hoppy too.

Initial rating: Golden colour. Very fresh bread aroma and flavour. Clearn, with a hint of grassy hop. A little overcarbonated, but nonetheless really captures the big, fresh malt character of the style.

Malty nose with some corn. Pale golden, low head, big bubbles. Honeyish malt in the taste, but overall just bland. Medium body, no aftertaste to tell about.
