Sampled from 0.33 l bottle, best before August 2017, thanks Nils. Clear, very pale golden with a thin white layer. Sweetish, slightly grassy, musty aroma of grains, straw and some barnyard. Moderately sweet, slightly grassy taste of grains and straw, followed by a short, just slightly bitter, a bit grassy finish. Thin body, slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. The aroma is not very inviting, but it tastes better than expected.

Bottle. Clear golden body with a short-lived white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of dried apricot, grass and honey. Flavour of watery grain, copper and orange peel. Thin body with a watery texture. Light fizz. Better than I was expecting but I wouldn’t choose to have another.
