3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle.Bought from Aldi at Cannock. Golden with a small head. Medium body with a small head and quite sweet. For some reason I think of as Winter beer as being dark, which this isn’t. Still quite a pleasant beer.
2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Pale golden with a small head. Not much aroma or flavour but carbonated well for the palate.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle from Aldi Gorgie
Light yellow golden, clear, bubbly white head, some lacing
Aroma - light lager hops, light spicy hops, touch of cereals
Taste - Soft pale sweet malts, light spicy hop, soft cereals, some plae sweet caramel
Palate - Medium body, medium carb, oily slick texture. Smooth oily fairly sweet finish.
Overall - Not a fan of lagers but I would drink this, reasonable with a surprising viscous texture
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle. Pale hazy gold with a bubbly foam. Aromas are caramel and lemon with grain and spices. Coriander with floral notes. Flavours are cereal with lemon and spiced apple juice. A prerty standard lager with exta spiciness. OK.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle from Aldi, Durham. A pale golden beer with malt and toffee flavours and a sweet (slight sugary), warming fruity finish.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. A winter... lager? Incredibly clear straw beer with a white top. Nose is mostly malty - very maizey and cornsyrupy. There’s a decent taste to it though - a little pear and apple, some hoppy grasses, touch of honey. A little salty on the palate, but pleasant enough.
2.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
What lager has to do with winter I don’t know but it’s a winter beer apparently. Straw-coloured with almost no head, quite a bite on the after taste, honey, hops, zest, apple, pear. Gassy - great if you like to belch a lot to impress your mates. Not that your mates will be around if you’re drinking Aldi lager. Hey, wait! I’m not judging you OK?
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle from Aldi, Syston. Light yellow clear. Light aroma. Standard bitter malt taste, dry and salty. Below average.
2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
A shabby lager. No distinctive characteristics - unless you count ’dull as fuck’ as a characteristic.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
500ml bottle. Pours gold with a medium head. Aroma is slightly eggy, grassy hops. Taste has minerals and straw to start. Grassy hop finish, a touch metallic with a little egg on the aftertaste.
