Bottle, probably not fresh thanks to Fergoos. It pours clear pale yellow with a thick, foamy white head. The aroma is skunky, skanky, sweet white bread, green veg and straw. The aroma is crisp, white bread, straw, paper, grass, toasted grain and straw with a dry finish. Medium body and high, foamy carbonation. Aroma is pretty shizzled, but taste is fair.
