Bottled as 2008 Liverpool City of Culture Lager, 500ml from Morrisons in Southport. Gold with carbonated head. Pretty standard, low flavoured, slightly tinny UK Lager. Malty, smooth but without interesting by notes. Pretty average but ok chilled at Derricks Barbeque.

500ml bottle from Morrisons, Banbury, Oxon, consumed 01-06-08 Pours gold with med’ carbonation and white quickly fading head. Malty and grainy and also a touch on the sweet side but far better than I expected, in fact chilled in the garden it was actually not bad.

Jukkabro (3486) - Tampere, FINLAND - MAR 27, 2007
Dark yellow colored. Nice fruity aroma with banana and sweetness, not very lagerish aroma. Medium bodied. Flavor is more lagerish: still nice soft fruits dominate with banana and some honey, mild hoppiness also in aftertaste.
