Just as much flavor as full strength beer but low in acohol. Hoppy on the nose. a good full flavour light beer.

Looks like lager ought to, smells mainly of light malt and very little else. For a light beer it does do surprisingly well. There is flavour (albeit only of lager) in the form of medium-sweet maltiness. If I had to labour under the enforcement of light beer, this would be the one of choice. Still, I don’t have to and I’m not going to.

Bottled. A golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma is light - what is there is a light malt note. The flavor is sweet with light notes of malt, citrus, and cardboard, leading to a very lightly bitter finish. It clearly lacks malt.

330ml bottle. Clear golden hue, thin diminishing white bubbly head. Faint aroma of cardboard. Minimal taste; light sweetness, virtually no bitterness. light body, thin feel, watery. There was nothing to this beer apart from some cardboard, so nothing to recommend it, not a drain pour but only just drinkable because I was "parched as".

Hens piss, honestly. Needs work to compete with other flavoursome light beers on market.

Shared this with K over a sushi lunch at Bonsai Sushi. Watery, flavourless, with a prominent boxboard finish. Really quite distracting, as though the beer were strained through a cereal box. Thankfully the sushi was awesome, since this beer was a complete dud!

Bottle 33cl. Clear golden body with a medium size white head. Sour hops in the nose. Thin and watery flavour.

(Bottle 33 cl) Clear, deep golden with a creamy, off-white head. Soft aroma of steeped grain. Thin and watery with sloppy malt accents and no bitterness. 240108
