5.1/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 5 Texture 6 Overall 4.5
Bottle @ First Official Randers Tasting. Pours clear amber with airy off-white head. Slightly dusty aroma with notes of yeast and malt and soe hoppy touches. Sour-sweetish flavour of grain, malt and hops. Sourish and dusty aftertaste. Not off but not very enjoyable, either.
