I got this off the Binnys single shelf. It poured a hazy yellow with no head and no lace. The scent had hint of biscuit. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink. The mouthfeel is lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall it was a good beer.

Clear and straw colored on the pour with minimal head. Smells of oats and cereal. Tastes like Bud light, light on the tongue with cereal coming through. Mouth feel flat and thin. Pour down drain uneventful and without remorse.

Draft: Poured a golden color Kolsch with a medium size foamy head. Aroma of cereal notes with light grainy notes and mineral notes is OK. Taste is also a mix of grainy malt with light mineral feel. Body is about average with good carbonation. Tough style to brew and not sure this example is up to par.
