Nilz_007 (3) - - JAN 30, 2012 does not count
not much to say about this beer. Only drink it if you have no chose, its watery and a waist of money. I advise you spend an extra 10 pence and drink something half descent.

Can. Light yellow color with almost no head. Aroma quite watery with hints of corn, grass and hay. Taste, watery with hints of malt and hops. Very light bitterness in finish. What to say more? Nothing.

Luckily I didn’t have to change any of the scores. Boring, horrible, terrible, awful and faeces. These words best describe this pint.

From a can in London. Not a amazing beer and not a beer I would buy, Typical "gräsklipparöl".

Cunningham (1744) - Halden, NORWAY - DEC 7, 2011
on tap - golden body with a white head - both aroma and flavour are light malty and very light hoppy - due to low alcohol?

Can (440ml; 4.0% UK version):
Clear, golden straw colour with plenty of bubbles & a two-finger sized white head that lasts throughout & leaves some lacing.
Bland & slightly skunky with corn & bread dominating the smell or what there is of it. Fairly typical for the style.
Mainly a mixture of corn & bread as well as being quite syrupy. A lot like so many pale lagers before it& again rather bland & finishing with a skunky finish.
Light bodied & watery although not the worst I have tasted. It is smooth but could have been a lot better.
Not the best although about average for a mass-market pale lager. Rather bland & quite skunky in both aroma & taste although the head was nice for the style.

Pint at the Goose in Bracknell. Fizzy and golden, no head of any note. Mild bitter tasting pilsner. A bit metallic but at lot of lagers are. Very malty. Not exactly terrible, but very dull. Gets a bit tedious as you go down the glass. Smells malty, and thats about it.
