Bottle. Clear gold featuring a proper white head. Aroma and taste of skunk, grains and grass. Low bitterness. Medium to strong carbonation. Just another inoffensive Pale Lager.

Straight from the can so no comments on the looks. Mild aroma of malts and citrus fruits. Taste of caramel, oranges and lemons. Low to moderate bitterness. Medium to strong carbonation. It’s an ok Session Ale and became our go-to when in need of a quick beer from a kombini.

Straight from the can so no comments on the looks. Aroma of grains and straw. Taste of grains, grass, lemons and green apples (though that just might be label design influencing me). lLow bitterness. Strong carbonation. Thin mouthfeel. I’m sorry to say but I didn’t enjoy it.

Can. Clear gold , white head. Gentle grainy aroma, some fruity/ boozy hints. But it’s sweetish but clean enough with modest bitterness. Probably would have been slightly better below 8C but it’s OK. Not exactly a showcase for this hop though.
