New Beer Distributors, NY 11.2oz ($2): Pours golden with a white head. Aroma is sweet corny grain type stuff. Taste is sweet, but has some underlying hoppiness. Easy to drink and there ain’t nothing offensive.

Bottle (275ml) at home, thanks to Rilester for lugging this back from his cricket tour, 21/03/13. Pours a light black with a good tan covering that dissipates after a few minutes. Nose is roast malt, dark fruits, figs, toffee, metallic whiff. Taste comprises roast malt, ash, brown sugars, molasses, treacle toffee, hint of coffee. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, dry and sweet in the finish. A decent enough offering!

330 ml shared bottle. ABV is 4.7%. Golden colour, moderate white head. Moderate sweetish aroma, some pilsener malts and grass, not unpleasant though. Medium sweet (or medium dry, if you like) flavour, fairly clean, a little hops in the finish. Could have been worse.
