Cheap beers need love too! The beer pours a translucent light copper colour with a heavy off-white head which leaves some nice lacing. The aroma is light caramel, cereal malts, and weak herbal hops. The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is acidic on the tongue with no discernible beer flavours whatsoever. Maybe cheap beers don’t need love!
