Bottle thanks to my wife. Very pale gold with a modest white head. Grainy aroma with some apples and paper. Thinnish, grainy and reasonably dry with decent grassy bitterness. There’s not great quality showing in the malt, but it’s not really offensive - at least this cold, the apples and paper don’t come through much. I’m going to finish it.

Many thanks to Nisse666 for sharing this beer-sample! Grainy smooth nose, the beer starts mild and refreshing. Round smooth body, very soft with a grainy texture. Mild grainy in the aftertaste, smooth, slightly sweetish, nice and sessionable.

Can plus sample many thanks to Thomas for this one. My RB country #157. Pours pale gold with a small white bubbly head. Aroma of malt, sweet corn, and grass. Medium plus sweetness and moderate bitterness. Light body, slight sticky texture. Soft carbonation. Finish is dry, bitter and fruity. Have certainly had worse.

Bottled@wPBF III. Yellowish golden colour, small white head. Aroma is herbs overdose, floral and some grainy notes. Flavour is herbal, grass and mild earthiness. Actually quite surprisingly fresh and nice.

Aroma is odd with butter, herbal and floral tones. Also mellow cardboard tones. Fees musty. Flavour has herbs, some grainy malt, mint and grassy hops. A bulk lager above average.
