OK you beer purists -- stick your Chimay chalices back up your buttholes and stop whining! This ain’t that bad. Poured a medium amber with a prodigious white head which dropped lazily, with a bit of lace. Nice bubbles rose from the bottom. Aroma was limes, malt, vanilla and biscuits. Flavor was fully-developed sweet malt, citrus, and spicy hops, ’though not overhopped. Mouthfeel? It’s a damned lager, people! You could do a lot worse.

Bottle. Mostly nonexistant aroma. Very pale golden body, scant head. Flavor is watery and very bland.

Good old pale lager, eh? Pours the expected pale gold with 30 second white head. The aroma is sweet with sugary malts, white rice, mild earthy and floral hops. The taste greets you with mild floral, spicy and earthy hops along with sweet sweet malts. Quickly the hops show signs of tepid bitterness slightly outshining the malt sweetness for a moment or two. Then the pale malt sweetness is ratcheted up a few notches higher and rides a slippery nearly sickly sweetness into the finish. A flagship brand beer, ouch!!!

Boring lager. Some malts, some hops, but not much else. No character. Drink something else.

Bottled, 275ml from Quercus Brewery & Bottle Shop, Devon. Pale yellow colour with CO2 head. Cereal, corn, thin malt notes to the fore with a lemonade type background. Sweetish and presumably refreshing enough in the heat rather than a damp British Winter.

Bottled. Huge lasting white head, good lacework. Crystal clear, yellow colored body. Corn, lemonade and cardboard in the aroma. Some quite inviting floral hops too. Sweet-flavored. Grainy, light bready taste. A faint fruitiness with some noticeable bittering hops. Slim body. Grainy ending. Charming.
