Sweet aroma of grain. Light sweet flavor with a very quick finish. Overall, nothing great, but quite drinkable.

22oz bottle: Pale yellow body with a rising, white cap that leaves a good amount of lace. Mild aroma is pleasant and non-offensive. Light notes of straw, wheat and buttery caramel fill the nose. Spritzy carbonation. The remains mild and off-flavor free with more light caramel and straw. Finishes with a lightly grassy notes, without lending too much bitterness and overpowering the finesse of this beer. This is a pale lager that I would reach for again.

Pours a golden color with a minimal head. Very faint sweet aroma. Pretty thin watery beer. Drinkable.

Pours gold with a white head. Smells of dry malt, some peppey hints, earthy. Tastes lightly fruity with some sweet caramel hints.

This was dreadful- I’m positive I had an expired or skunked bottle. Tasted like battery acid and urine. Aroma was unappealing and I should have taken the hint. I would like to try this again maybe in Sri Lanka but after the long journey to North Carolina this was by far the worst import I have ever tasted.
