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.

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.

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

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