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.

1L plastic bottle @ CBC. Thanks guys in the next table!
Aroma is fulfilled with butter. Also some herbal notes. Flavour has herbs, cardboard notes and buttery tones. Not that nice.
