Bottle. Pours clear pale yellow with a small fizzy white head that dissipates quickly with minimal. Aroma is corn syrup, grain, grass. Flavor is lightly sweet, citric, lemony, grassy light bitter finish. Surprisingly good after the aroma, actually. Light bodied and refreshing. Too bad it stinks.

Bright clear deep amber beer, tidy white head. Light palate, a little crisp and a little dry. Dry pale malt. Mild and sweet generic fruit. Mild minerals and then a pretty dry finish. Interesting. Nice flavour but a bit too dry.

From a 330ml bottle on 18/1/2013. Pours a clear dark golden with a biggish head. Has a typical, modest stale grain smell. Flavour wise, there’s a dash of sweet malt and not much else. This is saved from being horrible by a good dash of bitterness at the end. Still, it’s quite watery and ordinary.

Bottled. An amber beer with a lazing white head. The aroma has notes of metal, malt, and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of metal, malt, and caramel, leading to a dry metallic finish.

Bottle. Pours piss yellow with a medium white head that dissipates quickly with decent lacing. Strong urine aroma when freshly opened, fading to grain, grass. Flavor is lightly sweet and grainy, with a bit of refreshing bitterness on the finish and a slight metal far finish.

Yellow colour with a withe head that leaves a nice lacing. Mild grainy aroma. Light to medium body. Moderate sweet and light bitter. Mild caramel malt flavour. The trick is probably to serve it a bit cold.

Canned. Clear golden, minimal head. Grassy chemical nose. Mid sweet with some grainy malt and clean mouthfeel. Slight pear and mint, notes of vegetables. No bitterness. Redundant.
