(bottle, 33cl) Clear, golden colour with a blond mid-sized foamy head. Strawy malty aroma with notes of white bread, grassy hops and a tinge of metal. Moderately bitter flavour, light to medium bodied with a soft carbonation. Initially strawy and delicately bready malty taste with a present hops character with mainly herbal and grassy notes; dry and bitter hoppy finish with a mildly malty backbone. Fairly good. 11.VI.13

Light-bitter flavour, medium to light bodied with a soft carbonation. Solid malty base with rounded herbal hoppy accents; malty finish with a good dash of herbal hops giving the right balance. Good one.09.IX.08
