June 2025. Re-rate: 450ml bottle. Pours clear gold with a medium-sized white head. Aroma is fruity, pale malt. Taste is light to medium sweet, malt, fruity. Light bitter finish. Light to medium bodied. Seems like one of the better beers from this brewery.
May 2024. 500ml bottle. Pours clear gold with a tall white head. Aroma is almost non-existent, faintly malty. Taste is the same. No finish. Light bodied. Looks like this is a bad bottle/batch. 8/2/2/2/1.5 =0.667 = 2.6
