Appearance: Pours a clear, bubbly, yellow body with a small-sized, white head. Smell: Slightly skunked from the start, so, I’ll listen to a few Pinback tracks to give it time to waft away. There we go. Alright, some sweetish cereal scents with some floral hop notes present themselves now that the skunk aroma has blown away. Taste: Slightly grainy, slightly sweet cereal taste starts things off. Floral hops, lightly spicy, and with a subtle, though fixed bitterness. Touch of bitterness lingers beyond the dry finish. Mouthfeel: Thin-bodied. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: Eh. One of an endless line of faceless, instantly forgettable, vapid pale lagers.

Bottle from House of Fraser, Birmingham. Pours clear amber, fizzy with just a halo of head. Aroma is strongly hoppy for a lager, with Marmite. Watery mouthfeel and disappointing flavour - initial bitterness and diluted Marmite but a short finish. Poor.

Backlog Hong Kong Novemer 2010 Golden color, ok foam Light body & complexity A bit disappointing

Bottle @ friends house. Pale yellow, big white head. Smells malts and grains. Tastes watery, thinnish and malty. Low carbo, thin body.

Pours pale yellow with a white head. Aroma is light malt and fruity notes. Flavour is malt, fruity notes and light grass.

Pours a clear and golden beer with a weak white head. The aroma is malt and vegetables (DMS). The flavor follows the nose. The palate is sweetness. Overall a boring beer.

Pours golden with a small white head. Aroma is malt, dms, grass and fruity notes. Flavour is malt, dms and grass.

Small white head. Deep yellow body with light carbonation. Light grainy aroma with rubbery fruity notes. Dry-sweet grainy earthy taste with vegetal maize notes. Mild, soft mouthfeel. Mid-bodied. Dryish (and faintly acidic) grainy maize aftertaste with earthy floral notes. Decent, but far from great. (0.375l bottle, Taste, Hang Hao, Hong Kong.)

Gold hue with a thinnish head. Slightly skunky nose. Soft carbonation. Light texture. Watery in the middle. Cloying finish. Weak malt flavors of bland crackers and red apples. Faintly herbal hops, and only a slight bitterness. Unexciting, sticky, and bland.

Bottle in Century. Clear mbar lager with touch of orange tinge. Fairly typical lager although some nose grass, bread and touch of fruit notes in there. Touch of pepper, and a crisp finish. Not bad at all.
