Pours gold from the bottle. Frothy white head that lingers. Aroma is grassy, a bit sweet. Taste is mildly bittersweet up front, finishes with a dry, flat bitterness that does not linger long. Body is medium, smooth. Okay but dull.

Kalea Advent Calendar. Low key floral aroma with some spice. Pale gold. Bubbly. Thick frothy white head. Medium bitter. A herbal bite. With some underlying cardboard. Thin bodied. Light. Fizzy carbonation. Dry finisish. Perfectly acceptable, just does not interest me in the slightest.
