2.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Keg (Southampton Arms, RBESG2011 Saturday)
Very dull plasticky aroma. Authentically German, you can tell it’s made with the right ingredients, but bloody boring. Crisp carbonation, and served cold, so feels very watery. Sorry, but that’s lager for you. (At least when it hits my tastebuds.)
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
On draught at Southampton Arms - August 19, 2011. Clear bright bubbly refractive gold with an average somewhat lasting creamy white head. Smells ... like a pale lager - straw, grass, paper, some honey. Taste follows, maybe more paper (man I really hate pale lager) - even a hint of plastic - generous 6/10. Average body, solid carbonation; starts sweet, finishes harsh. Meh - cleaner than many, but ..... meh.
