Small off-white head over hazed straw-yellow beer. Little nose, bit dusty... very little going on. Sweet-ish, very mildly lactic/milky (not: sour), just some pale malts. Very light acidity - from the CO², I guess. (Rain)watery, very slight slickness. Feels more carbonated than it looks. I’d rather say something nicer about a new enthousiastic brewer, but this is utterly uninteresting. Thanks for bringing it over, M.

Fluffy off-white head, irregular over faintly hazed, well-carbonated ochre-gold beer. Very little nose, bit arachide/fatty acids, pale malts. Bit oxydized, very slightly toasted malts, and a very slight smokiness; and indeed, arachide/fatty acids. Bitterness in the aftertaste. Prickly carbonation, medium bodied, rather slick. Slight fermentation defects; but remaining quite drinkable.Thanks to Afrikoander Mathieu
