Kindly shared by Benzai, poured from a big plastic bottle. Diminishing white head to a clear, pale golden body. Fragile lacing. Discreet aroma of pale malts, mid-sweet. Moderate flavours of cardboard and mid-sweet grain. Papery dry ending. Diluted in the mouth. About drinkable (CBC, second day, Copenhagen 03.05.2014).

Bottle [thanks Erik Jan!] shared @ The Hague Tasting. Clear golden color, small white head. Aroma is malts, cardboard, dusty. Taste is malts, sweet malts, lightly cardboard. Low body, low to average carbonation. Well I still had hopes for an acceptable lager, but this is quite bad.

Plastic bottle kindly shared by Benzai at CBC 2014. Pours clear golden with a bubbly white head. Aroma of malt, caramel and grain. Flavor is light sweet and bitter. Very thin watery palate. Light bodied with light carbonation. Not as bad as I expected! but it didn’t stand up to the quality of beers provided at CBC.

Bottled. A golden beer with a white head. The aroma has notes of metal, malt, and straw. The flavor is sweet with notes of metal, brewing cereal, and and caramel, leading to a dry finish. Thanks Benzai for leaving the bottle at Taphouse for me.

Aroma is fulfilled with butter. Also some herbal notes. Flavour has herbs, cardboard notes and buttery tones. Not that nice.
