Bottle: 600ml (£2.29 from Costcutter, Lambeth, London):
Lager malts & a touch of sweetness along with some corn, bread and a lot of adjuncts filling in the rest. There are a few faint, grassy hops and a touch of skunk as well.
Clear golden with a few bubbles rising to the surface and a very thin, bubbly white lacing for a head.
Lager malts and corn with some faint hops and a slight touch of citrus. There is a bland taste overall and a slightly skunky finish.
Light, smooth with a slight citrus tang and strong carbonation. The beer is a little thin but not totally watered down.

Poor pale lager with a rather bland and uninspiring taste without coming across as bad or offensive. Not a bad taste just an incredibly bland one that is reminiscent of drinking flavoured water.

Pours clear golden. Aroma is slightly sour malts. Flavor is along the same lines. A bit too much carbonation. Drinkable but not particularly enjoyable.

600 mil bottle bought from mini-market in Chelmsford, Essex. A not great pale lager which doesn’t stand out in any way from most other pale lagers. Fizzy, pale gold/yellow, little aroma/taste.

Bottle. Golden, small and fully diminishing head. Light, malty and sweetish aroma, light bread. Body is light to medium, malty and sweetish flavor, light bread. Finish is short. Malty and lightly sweetish with light bread and light sharp metal, light alcohol. Malty and sweetish lager – no hoppyness.

5.2% pale gold with a nice head, sweet musty malt taste, fizzy slightly bitter malt taste.

typically bad example of pale lager. very little to write about other than the pathetically watery mouthfeel!

600ml bottle. pours a clear gold with small white head. aroma is faintly of hops and not much else. taste - very carbonated, thin mouth feel. slightly hoppy, watery and not much else. average at best but drinkable.

Ljus gyllene i färgen, litet vitt skum. Söt malt fruktig citruston, aningen alkohol. Smakar söt malt, fruktig ton, alkohol. Trist

Big bottle from Tesco. Pale gold with a wisp of head. Straw, beeswax, lemon throatsweet aroma. Soft and slight with some unsettling licked envelope, disinfectant and flying saucer notes but nothing that renders it remotely undrinkable. Disappointing. And better than I expected when I saw sorghum and sucrose on the label.

Bottle shared with McTapps. Expected a very easy and watery lager and got some which still has at least a bit malt to offer. Enjoyed it surprisingly well as it is maybe a bit tasteless but very refreshing.
