A lot of phenols, garbage and cereal notes. Nasty aftertaste. Low hops. Even for macroswill this stuff sucks.

Bottle sample at a tasting. Thanks zvikar. Clear golden. Aroma has some sweet graininess (corn) and some hops with light flowery and grassy hints. Sweetish bready flavor with some cereals and a bitter, slightly metallic, finish. Light-bodied. Better than I expected.

Bottle thanks to swalden28. Pours with a pale golden body and a fading head. Aroma of corn sugar, cardboard, soil and water. Taste is watery and nothing much else (thankfully). Fizzy.

At a tasting, thanks Zvikar, little head, clear pale yellow colour, a light hoppy aroma, some sulphur which becomes stronger in time, and a touch of vanila. Sweetish with a touch of bitterness, both fading away leaving a diluted watery sensation.
