Bottle. Releases a skunky and swamp water odor that covers a thin straw colored body with little head. Flavor is heavy on honey and bread grain with a touch of skunky hops. Kind of like a really light Becks.

Bottled, thanjs oh6gdx! Dark brown, small beige head. Roasty coffee aroma with some dextrose. Medium sweet with notes of saccharine and cherries. Light bodied with clean mouthfeel. Some dark rye bread and lingonberries. Low bitterness. Well drinkable despite the not very subtle touch of dextrose.

Bottle. This version is 3.8%. Clear golden with a big white head, slowly-diminishing. Aroma is quite nice with some malt, grassy Saaz hops and a touch of graininess. Flavor of some sweet malt, a bit of caramel, and medium hop bitterness and metallic hints in the finish. Rather light-bodied. Right after this one I’ve had Budweiser Budvar, and this one doesn’t really come close to the latter but is still an enjoyable Budweis-style lager.
