Draft: Very mild lemongrass nose. Cloudy amber, headless. Honey, corn, some DMS, grass. Medium body, easy carbonation. Drinks stronger than an ordinary pils, more like an IPL. Probably past its prime.

Taster at brewer’s cooperative. Very subtle smoke, and it plays really nicely. Not particularly special, but a good example of the style.

330ml bottle into schooner glass. Nose of malt and pepper. Slightly hazy golden beer with thin film on top. A few bubbles. Full bodied and flat in the mouth. Taste is a cleansing bitterness followed by a dry earthy hoppiness, some peppery raisin notes very late on. Excellent lager (more like a pils), moreish.

500ml bottle. Cloudy, orangey amber colour with average to huge, thick, frothy, fairly lasting, minimally lacing, off-white head. Dusty, grassy, unspecific fruity, hoppy aroma, cautious hints of dried apricot, kumquat, mandarine, mouldy blue grapes, mellow caramel malty background. Taste is grassy and citrusy fruity hoppy, caramel malty basis with a touch of toffee, hints of kumquat, mandarine, minimally chalky bitterness. Unbalanced, no harmony between malty basis and hoppy fruitiness. Not every classical style is automatically improved by bounteous hopping.
