2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Brown 500ml bottle, no artificial or genetically modified ingredients.
Poured into a Veltins Pilsner glass.
Clear and bright, golden and lager looking (the glass helped to give the illusion), withits white head.
The aroma however told you this wasn’t a lager/pilsner, the hops and yeast coming up from the glass instantly said, The UK.
Very English in the taste, clean and bitter-sweet feel to it. Dry with an even more dryness in the aftertaste. A lot more body to it than the colour indicates.
All in all, not bad.
