A highly smooth beer with a nice fruity flavour. Consider this beer to be a "fruity pilsner", great for anyone who doesn't like aggressively bitter beers.

650ml bottle - yup, the labels match the brewery's name, that's for sure.
This beer pours a slightly hazy, medium golden yellow colour, with one fat finger of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly dirty white head, which leaves some swollen rain cloud lace around the glass as it quickly blows off.
It smells of bready, doughy pale malt, white saltine crackers, Welch's white grape juice, a flinty stoniness, and earthy, leafy, and somewhat grassy hops. The taste is grainy, gritty pale malt, a sudden dash of generic, yet peppy citrus rind, some dry crackery breadiness, and more leafy, earthy, and dead hay-like hops.
The bubbles are fairly fine and innocuous in their plain Jane frothiness, the body a decent middleweight for the style, and mostly smooth, the hops actually lending a small prickliness to the affair. It finishes well off-dry, the sweetness of the bready malt lingering harder and faster than any of the heretofore game hops.
A difficult kind of beer to normally love, due to its typical banality, however here they've gone and amped it up a bit - some complex malt here, a dose of unexpectedly interesting hops there - and it generally works. Something to sip gaily away at, in your summer milieu of choice.

This one has improved from the first batch, but the flavour is still a bit more muddled than clean.
