Bottle: Very pale yellow colour, big creamy head, very long lasting (caused by hop-resins(?)); distinctive herbal hoppy nose; mainly bitter, only a little bit sweetish start; quite heavy bitter flavour, the hops burst in Your mouth and dominate to the very dry, hoppy , long lasting aftertaste; light bodied, quite well rounded: A goodie !

Attention, cheap bottle ! Clear golden, big rocky white head, long lasting; only very shy aroma, some traces of malts (and yeast?), nearly no hops; weak malty beginning, light bitter sweet flavour, weak bitter finish; refreshing (when You are thirsty), drinkable, but not really bad.

A light yellow beer with a white head. The aroma is sweet hoppy and malty. The flavor is sweet and very hoppy combined with notes of straw, leading to a dry end. A very simple beer.
