Bottle @ home shared with DutchDrebus. Clear golden color, frothy white head that leaves lacing. Smells a bit weird, rice, malts and grainy. Taste is nicely medium bitter. Nice firm carbo for a beer of 4,8%ABV, low body.

330 ml bottle. Pale golden body with a diminishing white head. Aroma is quite refreshing malt and grassy without being exiting. Flavor is sweetish malty, grassy and a bit fruity. Not much bitter and short aftertaste. No really off flavors, and totally drinkable, but a rather dull and average beer.

Bottle. A clear, golden beer with a small, white head. Grainy and fruity sweetish aroma. Sort of like ubersweet pears. Slightly grassy. The flavor follows the same path, fruity and grassy with malty sweetness as a base. Medium body and a short, fruity and sweet finish. A bit heavy on the carbonation but not hard. Drinkable indeed, but not a favorite of mine. 110406

Bottled. A golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma is light - what is there is a light malt note. The flavor is sweet with light notes of malt, citrus, and cardboard, leading to a very lightly bitter finish. It clearly lacks malt.

Dark golden, with light bubbles, not a bad bubbles. Sweetcorn and vegetable oil on the nose (not as I remember). Clearing out a little so barley comes to the forefront. On the taste, incredibly clean and crisp. The palate is medium-bodied, very creamy and then disappears.
