Bottle from Dasha: pours pale gold with white head. Aroma is grainy, bready. Taste is sweetish, lightly grainy. Low bitterness. Tastes a little rough around the edges. Not quite a macro but an unrefined craft.

Bomber from Dasha: pours gold with white head. Aroma is lightly citrusy, spicy, some herbs, lots of crackery malty, slight herbal. Taste is fairly spicy and herbal and works fairly well with the pale malts. Enjoyable, even as I drank the entire bomber by myself.
