Perfectly clear deep copper and bronze coloured body with a thinnish, very fast-dying, large bubbled tan head, only two centimetres tall at maximum. Aroma of soft grain, a touch of toast, light hay and grass, some mellow caster sugar notes, all ending with some yeast and bread - fairly mild throughout. Light-bodied; Strong grassy and herbal notes show at first with a fairly large malted barley note with earthiness and even a touch of light nuttiness right behind. Aftertaste shows some pure caster sugar elements with some grain, toasted malts, nuts and even a bit of bubble gum on the finish, but some alcohol shows through as well. Overall, a good enough, very light beer that shows some funkiness, a lot of sweet flavours and more malt than anything else, but all-in-all, still goes down quite easily. Good enough to sample, but I wouldn't go out of my way for this one, even if I sampled only lagers, exclusively. I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Whole Foods in Arlington (Clarendon), Virginia on 06-May-2020 for US$2,09 sampled at my house here in Washington on 16-June-2020.

Quarantine Beer #015 sampled at home on 03/16/2020. Hazy golden color with a medium white head that evaporates quickly to an outer ring. Short strings of lace. Grassy hops, citrus and malt in the nose. Light-bodied with flavors of grassy hop, grapefruit and bready malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a short citrusy hop aftertaste. Decent overall.
