Sampled from 0.33 l bottle from 'Rudat', bottled in June 2017. Clear, golden with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, white head. Sweetish, slightly grassy and a bit skunky aroma of grains and some straw. Sweetish, minimally bitter, slightly grassy taste of grains, some cardboard and hints of straw, followed by a short, moderately bitter, slightly grassy and a bit metallic finish. Thin to medium body, slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Not very good.

Clear yellow with almost non head. Aroma is lots of peas, some not too bad hop character of some grass and meadow, some paper. Taste is sour and strange sweet. Drinkable, a bit too musty. SinH4 said it well.
