This beer is very pale and clear and the head will be a froth of loose bubbles that disappear rapidly. Aroma is of a clean light mal and very light spicy hops, if there is any aroma at all. The very low serving temperature can restrain the volatilization of an already low level of aromatic molecules. Light bodied and highly carbonated. The flavour here is light and neutral. Malt can express itself as a low grain or corn flavour, and low bitterness can give the impression of a slight sweetness. Hops are often unnoticeable. The beer finishes dry and crisp, accented by the carbonation.
