500ml can. Pours a crystal clear gold-yellow with a medium, foamy, long lasting, off-white head that laces. Mild, semi-sweet aroma of grainy malt, bread and grass. Sweet flavour of toasted bready malt, corn, lemon and yeast with a dry, mild, bitter grass finish. Light body with a thin, watery texture and soft carbonation.

Bottle big thanks to Dan. It pours clear rich amber with a small white head. The aroma is sweet, sticky, bready, sponge cake, banana bread and honey oat. The taste is sweet, sticky, toffee, bitter, tannin, caramel, banana split, boozy, chewy, some bitterness, grassy, weedy and toothy with a grassy finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Intense stuff. More quaffable than expected.
