Medium coarseish white head quickly disappears. Paleish yellow body with carbonation. Grainy, grassy aroma, rather faint, with buttery notes. Dryish grainy watery taste with fruity notes. Dry papery aftertaste. Acceptable, but no more. (0.33l bottle, belge, Helsinki.)

330ml Bottle- Dark golden/amber in colour. Lightly hoppy aroma with pear,malt and a hint of honey. Despoite this, it seems a bit sterile. Mildly sweet and malty taste with a bit of grain and mild hops. A bit more flavour than your usual lager but nothing special.

500ml Can - Dark brown with red tinges and a foamy lively head. Malty aroma with cereals and some sweetness. Thin to taste at first, some roasted malts a mild bitterness and coffee then feature. The aftertaste is drinkable but has a strange twang to it. Nothing special but not bad.

300ml Can- Light golden in colour with a lively head. Fresh, grassy and malty aroma. Thin and watery taste with malt and mild hops. Not much bitterness. Rather boring but that does not come as much of a surprise.
