Bottle from Tops in Tempe, AZ. Dark amber color with a coarse beige head. Aroma of light roasted caramel. Medium body with light carbonation. Flavor is caramel with light hop - but not really bitter. Extremely pleasant. Resembles a Belgian ale more than an Eastern lager. Tasty.

50 cL bottle. Pours clear yellow with a creamy white head. Dry cornish and mild earthy aroma. Flavour is dry cornish and mild metallic. Bitter and somewhat again flat metallic-corn finish. Not really offensive, just terrible boring and an utterly waste of time.

500ml Bottle - Golden in colour with a foamy head. Grassy and malty aroma with a twist of lemon and lime and a light honey element. Quite thin tasting with malt and a little bit of honey abd sweetness in the finish. Mild bitterness. Goes down easy for its strength but not much flavour.

500ml Bottle- Light golden in colour and a small head. It looks quite flat as there is not much carbonation. Grassy and mildly malty aroma. Smooth and easy to drink with moderate bitterness and a hint of sweetness. Not much to it but quite refreshing all the same.
