Bottle shared at Kenny?s 20k 15/01/2016. Huge thanks to Chriso and Ruth for the country tick. A very pale yellow straw coloured pour with a thin white head. Aroma is sweet cereal, corn, apple. Flavour is composed of watery light grains, mineral, not much to it. Palate is thin and watery, papery. Highish carbonation. Not a fan.

Bottle shared at the Kenny M. 20K tasting. Thanks to Chris and Ruth for this one. Pours mostly clear yellow with a foamy, white head. The nose holds pale grains, cereal. Light to medium sweet flavour with further dull cereal, white bread, light bitter hay. Light bodied with average carbonation. Simple bready finish, more basic cereal, slight paper, hay, pale grains. So so.

Bottle shared at Kenny’s 20k tasting thanks to Chriso and Ruth for delving into the cellar for this and to The Osprey for donning the deerstalker and adding to rb. Pours golden with a decent white head. Aroma is damp grass. Very malty taste with a hint of cut grass. OK I suppose but won’t be applying for a visa any time soon!

Can sample at a tasting at Alexey & Rafaela’s place. Thanks Alexey. Clear yellow with a white head. Aroma of cardboard, graininess, a bit of corn and a bit of hay hints. Sweetish grainy flavor with a cardboard hint and a slightly bitterish finish. Light-bodied.

Can shared at a tasting at Max’s place. Thanks Alexey for this can. Clear golden with a white head. Aroma of hay, grains, a cardboard touch and a grassy hint. Sweetish flavor with graininess and a bitterish finish with a bit of alcohol. Rather light-bodied. Could be worse.
