330ml bottle. Clear, yellowish, pale golden colour with average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Slightly muggy, some people would prefer to say "soggy", grainy aroma, hints of wet straw, litter - litter that already once fulfilled its purpose, i.e. hiding frowst of pet excretion, not completely successful, though. Taste is monotonously grainy with dry hoppy overtones.

Pours a completely clear golden color with a hefty white foamy head that soon settles down to only a small cover. The aroma is quite strong, although slightly funky smell, but mostly malts and grains. The taste is very sweet, too much grains, but also very watery. Almost no bitterness, flat and bland. Just not good.

Beer starts mild, quite sweet. The mainpart is very smooth, a bit watrey. Slightly malty and a bit grainy. An interesting herbal-like taste comes towards the ending, the bittering hops fit in well. The aftertaste is medium, malty-sweetish and lightly bitter, smooth and watery. Nut not bad – there is a nice, hard to describe malty-herbal tone.
→ Nice brew! Not bad, highly drinkable and interesting. → 12/12/9/11
