Smells of sweaty feet...thats the bad, and I’ll admit that is bad. The taste is much better, Nitrogen is the only lass that could give this beer head. Its like a strong belgian ale without the sugar and adjuncts. A little hay says "hi!".

Honey colour. White decent sized head. Smell of flowery hops and metal. Fizzy. Taste of orange and metal.

Bottle. The aroma is full of floral hops with sweet malts. The appearance is gold with la medium white head. The flavor as good as the aroma with malt, hops and some citrus. The taste is a bit watery, however still a very enjoyable beer.

500ml bottle from my father-in-law Dave - cheers! Pours very pale gold with a small but lasting white head. Crisp, clean, refreshing taste, with a hint of grassy hops and a twist of sharp and bitter citrus in the aftertaste. Enjoyable, but lacks depth and tastes a little watery.

From a bottle purchased at John’s Marketplace in Portland, Oregon--Poured a dull, tawny amber-copper body with a small frothy whitish head. Oxidized, caramel nose. Slightly bitter with hints of cardboard. Skunky, off notes with a drab, unfavorable finish. Probably a refreshing beer before the travel factors got to it, but not so rewarding this time around.
