Can and tap. Clear golden in colour. Hoppy and malty in aroma. Sweet and hoppy, quite watery.

Draft, Heathrow terminal 4, Whetherspoon. Pours clear and golden yellow with a small white head. Light cornish an bitter aroma. Light grassy and bitter flavoured. A bit bland to be honest. Ends sight watery and vague bitter. Leaving a nice lacing on the glass.

On tap. Clear deep golden with a creamy white head leaving a lovely lacework. Very neutral aroma - some indefinable brewing cereal. Light body, brewing cereal, metal and some sulphur. Very discreetly hopped. The appearance is the best part of this beer. 22010

Canned. Golden coloured, mediumsized white bubbly head. Maly and barlic aroma with hints of yeast. Sweet malty flavour with hints of barley and syrup. A bit sticky.

Half a pint of Fosters in The County Hotel JDW Ashford. Clear gold thin white head. Well its cold. It tastes vaguely of cereal. No discernable hop presence. Not horrible like the Stella 4% was just vaguely flavoured water. Pointless.

Can. Pours a golden colour with a short lasting white head. Aroma of grains, malt and some sweet corn. Thin mothfeel. The flavour has grains, sweet corn, some malt and a slight bitterness (hops?). Bitterish finish. Just another boring beer. Thanks for bringing this to my noble home Roy.

UPDATED: DEC 29, 2005 Can
Typical golden lager color and small foamy whte head. Weak fruity aroma. Quite pleasant but thin palate - sweet, bubblegum, malt. Not the worst of megabrew lagers because lacks any artifical side flavors. (4/2/5/3/8 2.2)
Re-rated, alc. 4.5% - brewed in Finland,. can (BB 05/2006)
Pale golden color, decent white head, lively carbonation. Sweet malty, corn aroma. Malty, slightly harsh finish. Malty aftertaste. Not so fruity than UK version I sampled before, maybe flavor is tuned to "Finnish taste". (3/2/4/2/7 1.8)

Can. Frothy white good mostly lasting head. Yellow colour. Light malty and hoppy aroma. Some ok grainy notes. Light bitter flavor. Short light bitter finish. Watery palate. Deasent pale lager and quite a positive surprice.

Draught dead beer. Yeeeukkk, pale insipid highly gassed dog wee. Anyone in their right mind would avoid this at all costs. If this is the results of CUB brewing skills then they should go back and have another go. Couldn't avoid it on the day as it was the only thing available. Deplorable.
