May of poured too quickly as the white head frothed up to an inch and then dissapeared to a soft 1/4 inch or so. Body is a light pale yellow and cloudy.
Nose is yeasty/bready with a slight touch of lemon. Not overly appealing.
There's a slight peppery/spice to it up front which make me thinks it would go well with Thai/Asian food and easily quaffable.
What else is going on here?
It's got a grainy wheat beer mouth feel to it- flavours of yeast and breaddyness seem to dominate mid palate with a finish of more spiciness.
This is a reasonable drop that's pretty easy to drink- inoffensive but not ground breaking.
6/10
