Draught at King’s Head Pub, 4/2/16.
A moderately hazy, waxy-goldenrod yellow body is topped by a medium-sized white head that quickly fades to a ring.
Wax and crayon-like notes in the nose, with maybe a touch of metal, some dry, bland wheat character and a touch of vanillin. Not much going on here, and something is obviously quite off....
The flavor isn’t full of diacetyl, as expected, rather there’s just a trace of it. But there’s no malt character, no hops, very little yeast character even. Just a plasticy-waxy, slightly metallic, very bland, watery mess. Yikes.
