Bottle. Popping the cap on this unleashes an onslaught of skunkiness. I literally had to fan the air around my PC. The nose, up close, seems not very skunky. That’s twice thats happened this evening. Very grassy and hoppy with bready notes, grains and light fruit notes. Taste is crisp and grassy with light bread notes, yeast, grains, and dried fruit. Some lightly sweetened maltiness to this as well. Rather enjoyable! Body is crisp and dry with minimal carbonation feel. Light medium body. Finish is fruity and slightly tangy with thin bready notes, yeast, wheat and grass. Surprisingly refreshing and drinkable.

Very light, somewhat gassy and thin, smell of slightly stale bread. They’ve been advertising the hell out of this lately. I find it dull. A DAB most certainly will not "do me."

Golden in color with a small white head. Aroma of grainy malt and earthy hops. Flavor is bitter and malty,bready, with a spicy hop character attacks your tongue. A little over carbonated.

Starts decently with a fairly strong skunky aroma - typical weak yellow appearance with a too foamy head. Tastes fairly sweet and nondescript. Nice lingering bitterness with some hoppiness on the tongue saves it from being swill.

Bright pale yeloow-gold hue, big rocky white head with lacing, floral hop, pale malt aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate, with pale malt, malty note, in a shy hops finish.

Bottle: Clear yellow with some orange under a thin white head, floery aroma with some grass, orange and cardboard, medium body with stingy carbonation, starts and ends lightly bitter, with a sharp ending.

Golden with a white bubbly head. Aromas are metallic hops, lemon and pepper. Flavours are dry, bitter green hops on a sweet malt and lemon base. Not bad for a £2.79 four pack.

Beer took me back to when you could smoke cigar on a Lufthanza flight and they served DAB. Poured pale yellow with a slight hint of hops and laid out a very nice white head. Smooth taste that is mild yet has pleasant flavors of sweet malt and just a light bitter hop finish. This is a beer you can easily devour one after another. Nice starter for nebies or replacement for macros or just a pleasant beer to drink.
