12 ounce brown bottle marked best-before August 21, 2008.

The beer pours a distressingly bright urine-colored yellow. A few fingers of white foam disappear very rapidly, leaving a thin film and very slight lace. Smells sugary sweet and honeyed, with slight floral notes. Nothing else going on in the nose. The taste is, well, also sugary sweet and honeyed; except that it has musty earth overtones as well. Poor mouth-feel. The beer is light, yet limp and syrupy at the same time. Hardly any liveliness. Dull at best. A very weak offering.
