Review and Tasting

Sampled on 05/03/2012

Appearance:

Clear, bright yellow gold with white head which immediately collapses to little more than a ring of foam.

Aroma:

Raw corn on the cob nose with slight brussel sprout vegetable aromas.

Taste:

Very light, slightly bitter palate with corn notes found on nose. Little real character or hops. Has the body of a lager designed for quaffing under a hot sun.

Aftertaste:

Little real lingering flavour aside from corn flakes and slight metallic note.
