The colour is straw yellow (5 EBC), the liquid is clear. The finger thick white head got OK retention. No lacing.

The smell is heavy and frowsy. Some corn and fresh fir wood. Pear soda in the background. It is a bit... unpleasant.

The taste is shabby with sweet notes of adjuncts and too-fast-frementation. Passing notes of pear soda. Light sharp bitter flavours in the aftertaste. Pear extract in the finish.

Sharp medium sized short lived bubbles. Somewhat light and sticky liquid.

Thanks, but no thanks.

A: Pours straw-colored with a small light airy white head. Some lacings.

S: Grass and nettles with rather strong notes of ripe pears, the mint is well hidden. Corny malt, sweet.

T: The mint is stronger in the mouth compared to the nose. The pears are a bit held back. Sweet malt, faint bitter hops, very mild in taste.

M: Aftertaste is a bit sour, but gladly enough short. Body is thin and carbonation mild.

O: They put pears and mint in this one - I wonder why...
