Bottled at 4.7% ABV. Brilliant golden colour. Large white head. The nose is vague grains, tomato and spicy hops. Light body. Watery taste. You can detect malts and hops yet the palate is hollow.

Clear golden, tall frothy head. Average retention. Smells of grains, spicy hop. Even a hint of tropical fruit. Light to medium body. Thin to oily. Dryish taste with tart spicy hops. Grains in the background. A nice surprise this one.

Clear medium golden colour, good two finger frothy white head, half-way lasting, good lacing. Aroma sweet malts, grain, caramel. Flavour medium sweet and light bitter, malty, light caramel, metallic. Slightly toasted malty palate, getting more bitter leading to a sweetbitter finish, bit papery and pepper, all in all just decent.
