Review and Tasting
Sampled on 28/06/2012
Appearance:
(bbd Sept-12) Clear, bright golden yellow with quickly fading white head and minimal lacing.
Aroma:
White baguette crust, rich tea biscuits and hay with faint Marmite yeast extract-like bitter hops.
Taste:
Generously carbonated. Light bodied, faintly grassy, stale white bread crust and faint green herbal notes
Aftertaste:
More white baguette crust and light hoppy notes. Crusty bready notes and marked carbonation mark this apart from other light, some would say bland, lagers.
