Foggy amber liquid with a moderate off-white head. Aroma: cereals, wort, bread, grassy hints. Light body. Average carbonation. Taste: light sweet, fairly bread. Sugary ending. Not as awful as I was expecting it to be.

28/7/2018. Can at Højbjerg tasting. Pours clear golden with a small lasting white head. Aroma of malt, caramel, fruit. Quite heavy sweetness, minimal bitterness. Moderate body, sticky texture, very soft carbonation. Smells but but actually tastes ok.

Bottle @ Højbjerg tasting 28 July. Pours clear amber with airy white head. Clear aroma of yeast and malt. Sweetish flavour of the same ingredients, with grainy and mildly hoppy notes. Sweet aftertaste with woody hints. Nothing to write home about except for the fact that it is a valuable country tick.

320ml bottle, a gift from Shirley, a cycling friend who spent two weeks on her bike in Iran. Shared with four others at the monthly beer exchange in Chez Sophie, Shrewsbury; 30th Jan 2018. I love my obscure country ticks. Dark amber pour, weak off-white wispy head. Malty and very sweet. As mat says below, Ovaltine like drink really with extra sugar.

330ml bottle @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, courtesy of Jeremy and his cycling friend. Many thanks. Pours a clear amber, light mist, small foamy off-white head. Ovaltine aroma. Taste has some Ovaltine, moderately sweet grainy malt. Surprisingly drinkable. Had worse (looking at you Egypt!)
