330ml bottle as part f a delivery from U&I Drinks and drunk at home. Mid-gold and clear with a small white head. Grainy, corny, malty like many poor pils. Incredibly sweet, like her infused with corn syrup. A slow burn vegetal aftertaste. Fairly full oily body with medium carbonation. Honestly? It's not too bad for the style.

"The beer is dark golden in colour with a thick foam top. It smells malty and tastes of malt and grains. Dominantly sweet before a short bitterness towards the finish. Not too bad but a little to sweet for my liking." - beersoftheworldproject.wordpress.com

Borrow ordered from U & I Drinks. Aroma has malts and caramel with damp cardboard streak. Copper gold. Clear. Thick fluffy foamy white head. Sweet. Very sweet. Canned fruit syrup and saccharine. Slightly sour edge with metallic boozy traces. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long slightly astringent finish. So normally I'd find something like this way too sweet and sickly but the sour bitter nudfe and booze take the edge off. Not great for sure but I can see why Rwandan tramps would drink. If the Tories deport me there it would certainly drown my sorrows.

330ml bottle [courtesy of Grumbo - cheers Graham!]. Clear, orange golden colour with average, frothy, moderately lasting and lacing, white head. Initially slightly musty, grainy, strawy, pale malty aroma, hints of silage; becomes less musty and cleaner after a while, more grainy and minimally spicy overall, teh silage touch fades away. Taste is pale malty with a touch of corn, subtle sweetness, mild hop bitterness; slightly dry and minimally mineral finish. Minimally oily, watery texture, smooth and soft, simultaneously slightly dry palate, medium to fine, mildly prickly carbonation. Relatively full body, simple and rather clean after a while - had worse.
