3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle from Waitrose, Thame, Oxon, 27-07-07 Dark golden in colour with nice crispy, fresh, malty, hoppy taste tasted really quite nice and came out as second best of the night.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
330ml bottle. Aroma is slightly skunky with grassy hops. Pretty lacking in body and flavour, thin malt and grassy hops in the background. Not something I would drink again.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottled, filtered, 330 ml. Straw colour with white head. I have to admit to not having great expectations of this beer, but what a great surprise, ok a thinnish lagery malty body, but then rushes of lemon, pithy citrus notes and a cut grass undertone, a really pleasant beer, not great but very good for a sunday afternoon. I like it.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
330ml bottle from Waitrose - labelled "Freedom Organic Beer" and "Brewed and bottled in the EU". Typical lager appearance; light straw with a billowing white head that fell back very quickly; deep fresh aroma of grassy hops on openning; refreshing hop flavours, but lacking finish.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottled
Pale golden. White head.
Sourish and dry aroma and flavour. Uninteresting.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle, a slightly carbonated golden straw colour with a white bubbly head. A generously malty aroma for a lager, with a touch of fruit crispiness to it. Sweet and fruity at teh first taste, slight honeyish. Through the swalow it becomes the more familiar dry and grassy lager, but still carries some of those earlier flavours. A little over-carboated for my liking, but one of the more complex and enjoyable lagers I have tasted. And to add - it just got better and better through the glass.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Draught @ The Bünker Bar, London as Organic Lager. Golden coloured. Hazy. Off white dense head. Sweet and flowery aroma. Vague spices. Flavour is flowery and spiced. Has herbal notes. A bit bland. A bit thin bodied. Very light bitter end.
1 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 3/20
Sour and skunky aroma. A hint of berries in the nose and lot of corn. Bad bottle?
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
As Timmo, I had this as Freedom Organic Lager. An orange beer with a thin disappearing white head. The aroma is sweet and quite malty, but combined with light notes of hops. The flavor is sweet malty with light notes of caramel, leading to a slightly bitter end. The mouthfeel is a bit sticky. I miss some character in this beer, but there’s nothing wrong with it.
2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Draught@brew pub as "Freedom organic lager".
Pale yellow color, small white head. Served very cold and getting much out of nose is difficult; just faint sweetish malts. Crisp, mostly sweetish malty - not much hoppy. Quite similar to commercial bulk lagers - no big faults, but mostly tasteless.
