(Bottle, 0.5 l - BB 17152014, from supermarket, 20141030) The beer poured golden and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had grass and grain. Palate was quite light bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were grass, sweetness, malts, grain and bitterness. Aftertaste was sweet and bitter. Not really good brew. No flaws but lacking in aroma and taste.

Bottle sample at kerenmk’s place. Thanks kerenmk. Clear straw color with a bit of white foam. Aroma of cereals (lots of corn) and a bit of paper. Sweetish flavor with corn and paper, finishes slightly bitterish with a metallic hint. Light-bodied. Quite bad.
