Pours golden with a quickly dissipating fizzy white head.

Smells of light malt and some hop aroma.

Tastes of light grain, slight bitterness, with a raw/harsh grain finish. Funny enough, this all kinda works. There is a level of citrus in this, not sure to what degree (so -- light).

Light carbonated mouthfeel. Good beer for spicy grilled food. Better hot weather beer for sure. Not too bad for a macro style with a bit of a twist.

look: 3 | smell: 2.75 | taste: 2.75 | feel: 3.25 | overall: 2.75

Poured a 330ml bottle into a Shaker pint glass.

A- pours a light and clear gold with about one finger of almost creamy white head. The head lingers on but doesn't leave any lacing.

S- some sweet notes of malt or bread. But more or less non-descript

T- Again, some malty sweetness but very little else. No depth and nothing distinct about it.

M- not bad. A nice fuller feeling, not watered down. A nice hint of carbonation

O- not the best but certainly not the worst
