Tap at the brewhouse and 330ml bottle. Minimally milky, yellow-ish, pale and bright golden colour with average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, snow-white head. Grainy, malty aroma, citrusy hoppy overtones, hints of maize, whiffs of yellow curry-like spiciness. Taste is moderately bitter and slightly citrusy hoppy, very clean, grainy, pale malty, hints of maize, lemon, a grassy hoppy touch as well, whiffs of yellow curry again; lingering, citrusy hoppy finish with hints of lemon an da touch of lime. Slightly creamy, watery texture, dry, minimally repellant, metallic palate, fine, prickly carbonation. Highly drinkable, refreshing, very clean and simple, but superbly crafted - makes more out of the style than the potential I estimated to lie therein.

Huge thanks to Erzengel for sharing. Bottle looks very simple but good. Beer in the glass zippy, small head. Starts mild, malty, shy hoppy background. Mild spicy hints. Finish well balanced. Okay.
