Smell-weak, faint pineapple, faint hops, fruits.
Foam- thin, hops, fruits, bitter tones, faint burned sugar. Head is small to medium-sized, white in color.
Appearance- somewhat nice, yet a visibly AI-generated image of some supposed old rock stars, overall good to have rock in beers mentioned.
From - tulip
Taste - weak hops, fruits, burned sugar, some bitter tones, faint pine. Nothing too special.
