Tap at swans. Amber, creamy head. Juniper aroma. Medium to light body, needs a bit more chewyness to play with the Germans. Grain and hallertau finish. Pleasant though.

On tap at the brewery-hotel. deep amber, thin cream cap. Aroma is sweet caramel with a woodsy/grassy element. Caramel leads the way, with some fruity accents and a leafy mild bitterness in the finish. A little on the thin side, but actually very tasty and sessionable.

On draught at the brewpub. Deep amber color with lasting slight tan head and lace. Slight hoppy aroma! Hop flavor tops the malty sweetness. Mellow hop bitterness. Medium body with with reasonable carbonation. Overall, a clean malty and hoppy lager. Some berry-like character from the malt but not distracting.

(Bottle) Purchased at the Swan Offsale. Pours a thin, almond-coloured creamy head atop a light brown-orange body. Nose of caramel, bread and wheaty malts. Upfront gummy tongue. Flavour is mildly bitter and straw. Good. 6/4/6/3/14
