330ml bottle from Drinker’s Paradise, London. Has an almost artificially sweet, caramel flavour, grassy. Not that bad, but then I can’t imagine drinking a few of these.

330ml bottle at home. Looks very good. Pale gold, good white head. Quite soft carbonation. Aroma is kitchen sink plug-hole after a few days away, and you hadn’t properly cleaned it out first. Dirty vegetal funk. Palate is both watery and too bitter a finish. A bit yuk.

At a tasting, thanks kerenmk, smallish stable head, quite clear gold colour, light malty cardboard aroma with a hint of vanila, heavy sweet honey flavour. Not offensive but not really good.

Bottle @ BBF13. Pours clear amber with airy but stable off-white head. Clear aroma of malt and hops. Sweetish, malty flavour with notes of caramel and fruit. Mildly sweet aftertaste. Sparse buttery notes. Not bad.

11.2 oz bottle purchased at Total Wine & More in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The pour is brown golden with a mostly clear tan head that falls quick. The aroma is soft nut and cocoa sweetness, along with a hint of grass. The taste is really bland, thin sweet chemical along with the sweetness. The palate is watery thin, with a thankfully relatively clean finish. Not horrible, just dull.
