Bottle with 4.5 ABV. Golden, clear, white airy head. Stays for a minute. Grainy faint aroma. Light body. Thin to oily. The taste is unexpectedly hoppy. Very grassy, spicy. Some malts in the background. Long hoppy finish. Plain it is. Decent it is as well.

Thanks to MarkoNm for this bottle. Country #132 for me. Pours a hazy dark golden colour with a short lasting off white head. Aroma of corn and light malt. Quite heavy sweetness, minimal bitterness. Light body, sticky texture, average carbonation. Finish is sweet and slightly metallic. Good country tick, fair beer.

Wässriger Antrunk, in dem sehr mild ein herber Ton erkennbar ist. Erfrischend, dann aber trocken mit minimalem Getreide. Wässrig bleibend, zum Ende ein wenig intensiver, angedeutete Süße. Wie erwartet. 8/6/8/5/6/5

Mild herb getreidiger Beginn. Trocken, die Herbe steigt, geringe Würzigkeit. Süffig, eher langweilig, dabei aber besser als erwartet. 8/8/8/8/6/8
