[50cl bottle from a liquor store in Buena Park, CA.] A pale straw coloured pour with a loose white head; floral aroma with some yeast; odd floral taste, quite dry and not unattractive with a grainy body and a touch of grassy bitterness; and then something spicy in the finish. Odd, I won't be rushing to get another one.

Medium sweet flavour with more cereal, dough, light bitter hay. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Sugary finish, light paper, lemon, straw. So so.
