worldbeertaste (1123) - Lancashire, - OCT 25, 2012
Medium to dark amber/orange with a disappearing white no lace, frothy head. Smells and tastes of toasted malt, caramel, butter and a light citrus bitterness. Some light fruit. Medium thin body. Starts out rather sweet malt, caramel with a bit of grass on the bitter hop finish. The fruitiness is enjoyable. Nice balance overall. The finish has a bit of a chemical tinge due to the pasteurisation.

Jonb5 (241) - Greater London, ENGLAND - MAY 15, 2013
Half Litre Bottle, poured into a Pint Glass. Golden colour, clear, half finger head, good retention + lacing, lively looking. Aroma was cork citrus and some wheat. Tasted citrus, finish was bittersweet and wheaty. Light to medium body, crisp, fairly smooth. Fairly decent sessionable beer, needed to do slightly more to be memorable.

Pretty pale amber with a handsome head. Very neutral aroma - I miss some fruityness here. Vague touches of malt and caramel. Somewhat metallic edge

Bottle 0,50L. Pale orange colour with small off-white, creamy head and lively visible carbonation. Mostly malty aroma of dark bread and cereals. A note of citrusy hopps, too. Taste is heavy bitter with average finish duration. Light, watery and refreshing ale.

Shaney (1735) - Köln / Cologne, GERMANY - APR 19, 2013
Helles Bernstein, ganz leicht trüb, viel Schaum. Riecht nach Stroh und Heu. Trockener und kornmalziger Geschmack, der holzig herb ausklingt. Von der erwähnten Zitrone schmecke ich überhaupt nichts...geht so.

niquillis (664) - Stoke on Trent, Staffordshire, ENGLAND - MAR 28, 2013
500ml bottle as part of my Xmas box. Pours golden with a fast diminishing head, slight over carbonated. Ok, some toffee but nothing more than a run of the mill beer.

wimpyjoe (1679) - Manchester, Greater Manchester, ENGLAND - MAR 7, 2013
Pale golden with a diminishing head. A slight aroma which is slightly soapy that is in line with its smooth texture and taste. Not blessed with a huge amount of flavour though.
