Bottle thanks to unclemike. Clear honey yellow with a thin white head. Aroma is corny and dry pils malt. Taste is only slight malt and slight bittering. Mild, inoffensive. Crisp biting finish.

Draught. Low and quickly disapearing white head. Clear golden body. Weak barley malt aroma. Relatively dry barley malt flavor without much hops bitterness. High carbonation. Long aftertaste.

Bottle. Pours a clear gold color with a thin white head that lingers. Taste and aroma are of hops and malt. Crisp, clean and refreshing. Is well balanced and very easy to drink.
