Bottle. It pours a clear, almost golden body under a fingerthick off-white head. Some dms in the aroma, mostly grainy, with pale malts and some citrus. There’s a touch of lim in the mouth, some dms and bitterness, but mostly it’s grains. Medium body. It finishes on the malty side, but some bitterness shows up. An easy to drink beer, but dead boring, and to be honest, not particularly good. (081206)

Pours a yellow coppery color with a light head. The aroma was quite strong, with some crisp hops, citrus fruit and malt. The Flavour was crisp with moderate hops and some orange grainy malt sweetness. Fairly decent beer, seems a little low rated, IMO.
