Sample courtesy of Grumbo. Thanks chap. Golden yellow appearance with a surprisingly lively, large white head that takes a while to subside. Pleasantly sweet, floral, no off-notes, medium carbonation, nice strength to it. OK.

5/2/2022. Bottle shared by Erik, huge thanks. Pours clear pale golden with a frothy white head. Aroma of sweet malt, grain, wet cardboard, over-ripe citrus. Heavy sweetness, light bitterness. Moderate body, oily watery texture, average carbonation. Much too sweet. Not good.
