Light golden with a creamy head. The aroma is lovely floral and fruity (mainly citrus) notes on herbal, grassy fondation. Light refreshing flavour with a certain betterness to balance the floral and fruity notes. Fresh but not lingering palate. Tasted cask conditioned on several occasions in Sweden

You wouldn’t guess that it is actually a lager. It has the typical hoppy nose of a really good cask conditioned ale and a fantastic complex palate. Only the colour seems to give it away.

Cask at the White Horse, Parsons Green, 15th Oct 09. Golden colour with a fresh European hop aroma. Lovely firm palate and strong flavour. Well balanced, malty enough but with a great dry finish. A really excellent lager.

UPDATED: JUL 29, 2005 Cask at County Hotel, JDW Ashford. If only all lager was like this. A worthy beer to be my 300th. Golden beer with citrus and tropical fruit aromas, carbonated in the mouth and a bit sherberty but it leads to a nice dry finish with nettle hop. Excellent beer

A deep golden honey coloured beer, likened to that of sweet white wine. Has a weak white head. A light, fruity aroma of citrusy hops with some malt towards the end. The taste is dry. bitter and hoppy. The hops give the flavour a zesty citrus, grapefruit like element, then the malt comes through, smooth and biscuity sweet. The finish is dry and hoppy. (Cask - The Fox & Hounds, Heacham, Norfolk

Tasted at the Bow Bar in Edimburgh. Blonde coloured beer with lovely fruity and floral hoppy nose. The taste is also hoppy with good fruitiness. Excellent cask beer.

This is the lager by which EVERY other lager has to be judged. Light straw colour, lovely fruity hop nose with clean malts and a complex palate. Dry, citrus aftertaste which lingers. Very little carbonation and served cool, which allows the full delicious flavour to come through. Carlsberg take note: this is DEFINITELY the best lager in the world.
