Hazy blond color. It has a lot of hay malt and grass character. Dry, but not week. Very nice.

On tap at BRB, pours a clear copper golden with a small white head. Nose is light, with notes of biscuity malt - not much else. Flavour is bland but clean, with notes of biscuity malt and a little sweet cereal. Clean and drinkable, but pretty boring. Meh.

On tap at BRB, pours a hazy yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out notes of biscuity malt and straw. Flavour is clean, with notes of crackery malt and straw. Clean and crisp, well-designed for what it is. Decent.

Pale blond color, small head. Strangely the aroma is quite cheesy. The mouthfeel is off-dry, poor malt flavor, ordinary bitterness with no hop quality.
Very boring Ale, almost a boring Lager.

Cloudy, small head. The aroma is a bit earthy, it has some residual sweetness over an anonymous malt flavor, a bit earthy here as well, and with minimal Brett traces.
Messy beer, not very good.
