Taster, courtesy of SinH4. Pours almost clear golden. Aroma is honey, flowers, bread, but all quite farfetched. Body is completely flat, thin and watery, low sweetness, again hints of honey and flowers. Not much there, though. Inoffensive, a plus.

Clear yellow. Aroma is tobacco leaves, honey, green leek, some ash, some honey. Taste is watery honey with more ash and quite much sweetness. Not too bad apart from stale and boring.

Bottle sample, many thanks Erzengel! Clear golden color with small white head. Aroma is fresh wort, rice, corn. Taste is corn, sweet, unattenuated, but still somehow clean. Typical country tick, but at least neither expired not lightstruck.
