Bottle. Pale clear yellow color with a small white head. Aroma: Light aroma of grain, white bread, sweetness nad rice. Flavor: Crisp and bready, light citrus, some sweetness. Drinkable with food, but very watery and boring.

Thanks to rcasta. Pales a shinny golden color with white head. Light/medium bodied. Sweet you can taste some grains, corn or rice a bit skunky.

Bottle, Victory Services Club, London Comes with (second) dinner (Don’t ask). Again, not astyle of beer I have much time for, but actually makes a fairly decent accompaniment for my British institutional dinner. Yellow, poured to a thin, rapidly disappearing head. Not much aroma. Goes down easily.

Bottle brown, 660 ml
Appearance: Beer pours opaque, golden, bright, head is small, frothy but very quickly disappearing, bee is quickly becoming flat as the gas goes off, head colour is white, no lacing, fully diminishing, body is clear, size is large, density is thin, body is practically flat.
Aroma: Can, watered fur, rust, skunkyness of hops, ink, orange, lemon, citruses, cheap wine, metallic nose, slight, hopy bitterness, grapefruit, a hint of chalkyness, weak and rather poor malty aroma, a hint of rice, soil, tap water of poor quality. When warmer a hint of watered honey and manure.
Flavour: Grapefruit, slightly bitter and salty, nice feel of grains on palate, a hint of skunk and rusty metalic taste at the front, than saltyness and light, sweet , malt taste of grains, dry on palate and becoming more and more chalky from initial metalic taste what creates a quite interesting shift. Finish duration is average, rice is not felt and does not make a bad impression at all, bitter, soiled, English - like kind of hops that remind those used in English ales.
Palate: Body is light, texture is wattery, carbonation on palate is soft, finish feel is chalky, grainy, white bread, flour, very nice, grainy and bready finish, not quite typical for Pale Lagers.
