Bottle. It pours a rather pale golden body. The head is large-bubbled and small, white color. Grainy, malty and lightly fruity aroma, almost honey-like, not that that makes it much better, it’s still boring and below mediocre. Thin, somehow sweetish mouthfeel with flavors of pale malt, grains, some sugar and honey, and a fruity touch. Maybe some honey here as well. Short, fruity and grainy finish with little or none bitterness. Boring. Boring. Unoffensive. The flavor isn’t bad though, quite quenching and refreshing, but utterly boring and lacking bitterness.

Appearance: Golden. Very little head. Aroma: Very little. Bit of malt and fruit. Taste: Fruity, bit of malt. Fresh. Something "herby" about it. Info: 660ml bottle, 10/4-2006

Bottle (from Beers of the World - apparently Nepal is now in Sussex). Sweet honey and barley malt aroma. Golden yellow color with small head - mild effervescence. Nice - a big like a lager/ale mix.

660ml bottle at the Swan Hotel, Hythe. Amber with a thin white head; sweet corn syrup aroma; quite full bodied, clean and slightly sweet but with good bitterness, and a dry finish. Better than I expected.
