2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Bottle from 24hr shop in Palmers green. Aroma is pale lager malts, herbal hop and alc. Taste is similar, the alc seems to be coming through the grassy hay herbal hop far too easily.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottled
Golden with almost no head at all.
Sweet and bready maltiness.
Some sourish sweetness in the flavour. Fine maltiness.
1.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Bottle, picked up at the ’Dodgy Deli’ on the Cowley Road, Oxford. Pours a golden colour, some maltiness on the nose, tastes a bit thin but with a bit of malt there as well, bit boring really.
1.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 5/20
Nice clean golden colour, but head is VERY thin and fading fast. Nose? What nose? there isn’t any! Ok! a faint citrus fruit is barely noticable.Palate is pretty bland, smooth but little in the way of flavour or body!
2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle. Golden colour with a slim white head. Hoppy aroma with some background malts. Inoffensive but bland taste, not very ’clean and crisp’ though. Oily mouthfeel. Not one to bother with again.
2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
On the pale side of golden in colour, the head was fairly compact but left some nice lacing, soft hop aroma and the body had some taste although not a lot of bite which is what I like in a good pilsener, a little oilly but overall it went down very easy.
1.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Bottle from an independent off licence, London. Mostly clean and harmless, though malt tastes tired and the hops lack bite.
