golden orange colour with a small rocky head.
Continental pilsener aroma with hops, citrus fruits and a tiny sulphery quality coming through.
Nice full body, flavours benefit from the light carbonation.
Nice crisp clean slightly bitter finish.
Will try the bottled version soon too.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 21, 2008 Cask at the Green Man, Stamford. One of the best pale lagers I’ve had, my enjoyment of this was not spoiled by the know-it-all at the bar (punter, not staff) who took pleasure in telling me how this was "like a lager" but that I shouldn’t expect it to be cold and fizzy. It tastes of sweet fruits with a hint of citrus rind and spice.
