Keg at Lakeside Bowling. No proper beer available so had to have this. Thinly malted, wheaty, strained beer with sweet carbonated finish. Chemical throughout.

The head looks like someone’s put shaving foam on top of it, smooth and creamy lager with little flavour

440ml can. Pours gold with a large head. Aroma is corn and cardboard. Taste is nothing, mouthfeel is watery with no carbonation. Canal water. Crappy.

UPDATED: FEB 11, 2012 Can. Golden colour with a white head. Moderate malt aroma. Very weak flavour!

The texture and mouthfeel sell this beer. It could be described as the gateway to ale/bitter or mild. Similar to Carling in the light malty , grainy taste but has a more drinkable persona. I don’t like the generic lagers in the UK and when I’m back I avoid them. But Premier is different in that it’s smooth like an ale. I like a few of these when I’m watching the football. It does beg the question though. If you are moving in the direction of flat lagers then why not just make the leap to Boddingtons?

Pours golden with small thick white head which leaves rich lacing on the glass. Slightly malty and dry aroma. Decent carbonation with small bubbles, easy to drink. Crisp, sourbitter dry flavor. Flat and watery on palate. Finish id short bitter and souerly.

Can, 50 cl - Clear yellow beer with a small foamy head. Aroma is malty with notes of straw and bread. Flavor is malty with notes of bread and hay. Very unspecial

Can 0.5l Clear yelllov colour, with a thin head. Aroma is domintated of lots of malts and grain, hay, fruits, and some dry hopy nose in the end. Flavor was smouth thin cremy and thin mouth feeling, of malts and grain, and a bit weak fruity finish.

440 ml can with gas cartridge in bottom shared with Petri in Karbenning. Amber color with a light carbonation and a supercreamy tan head that lingers on quite nicely. Aroma of malt, honey and some vegetable. Smooth and light bittersweet malt flavor with honey and some hops. Soft and creamy mouthfeel.

Can from Systembolaget. Deep golden with creamy nitrogen head. Sweet aroma with honeyish malt, sulfur, some graininess and some fruitiness (apple). Honeyish and sulfury flavor with some fruitiness, pepper and low to medium bitterness. Smooth palate with low carbonation. Mild aroma and flavor, mostly masked by sulfur.

Medium offwhite lasting creamy head. Coppery body. Faint, faint papery aroma. Dry-sweetish papery grainy resiny taste with gasoline notes. Hot mouthfeel. Mid-bodied. Dryish chalky grainy aftertaste. Very low on taste. Quite anonymous. (0.5l can, Systembolaget, Charlottenberg.)
