Moderately strong aroma of hay, banana, and clove. Clear yellow thin white head. Lemony corn and clean. A good palate cleanser, but not a drain pour. I wanted to rate this lower, but I couldn’t in good conscience rate it lower than Budweiser or Icehouse.

Yellow gold beer that poured a small white cap that faded leaving only a ring. Lots of lasting carbonation and a small ammount of spotty lacing. Aroma is pretty much all malts, dry, grassy, grainy and a little sweet - it’s possible that there are some hops there too. Malt flavoured beer with grains and a suprisingly invisible hop taste that does dish out a good ammount of bitterness considering the small quantity of hops that’s probally in here. Mouthfeel is quite soft with a dryness and nearly zero bitterness. Aside from the malts, the only other thing to notice is the sour middle. Medium bodied. I pretty much guzzled this during the tasting.

Pours a pale golden color with a soft white head. Floral and malty aroma. Malty flavour but not to sweet. Medium to full bodied with moderate carbonation. An enjoyable beer, 330 ml brown bottle.

Amazingly clear beer that had a deep gold body, and a thick white head, tons of bubbles columns are swirling up from the bottom of the beer. Sweet malty aroma, that has a slightly sour finish, can’t pick up any of the hops, not a bad smell its just kind of there. Good mouth feel, full, nice and crisp, and nice carbonation and to me mouth feel is one of the best indications of a quality beer. Very malty beer, malt malt and more malt is what I taste, extremely mild hop taste I would have liked to have tasted more in the brew. The beer has more of a sour finish rather then a bitter one, as well as bread, wheat, and melon flavored bubble gum also show up in the flavor. This is a good malty beer thats enjoyable, but maybe a touch boring but still tasty.
