330ml bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours dark yellow with a small white head. Nice lacing on the glass. Aroma is malt and grain. Taste is light sweet, grainy, some caramel malt. Nothing interesting at all.

From old tasting notes. Clear amber orange color with a light tan head. Interesting malt aroma hints at clover leaf and hard boiled eggs. Slightly herbaceous malt flavor upfront. Brief sweet malt middle. Finish is bland and listless. Not good.
