Golden color, small white head. Wet paper and faint woody hops in the nose. Bready, a bit sweet, not very strong palate. Clean, but just too watery for being anything interesting.

500ml bottle - This beer pours pale yellow with a thin head. The nose is malt and adjuncts. The very bland flavor has corn and maybe a little hops. The body is thin and the finish dry and quite nasty, really. I wanted to get the taste out of my mouth. This is an awful beer. I virtually never drain pour anything, no matter how bad, but I dumped the last few ounces of this one. The fact that I got through about 12 oz. before giving up suggests a disturbing level of self-loathing. I should probably see someone about that.
