Review and Tasting

Sampled on 07/05/2012

Appearance:

Clear, pale coppery gold with a white head which quickly fades to leave speckled lacing.

Aroma:

Subdued nose with faint sweet corn and steaming stodgy white rice, faint dry straw.

Taste:

Clean and light bodied with very light maltiness and faint herbal hops - a tad bland with little to hate.

Aftertaste:

Little lasting flavour but lingering dryness.
