473mL can: Light golden yellow body with some head. Hardly any aroma or flavor to talk about... Watered down in all respects. It’s not bad but it’s also not good!

Well, it’s better than I expected. That being said, its still not very good. It pours a pale yellow with a thin white head that quickly dissapears. The aroma is grassy, floral, with a hint of grain. The flavour mostly like every other macro brew, little bit of corn sweetness, some strange hop floral flavour...and a odd aftertaste. Taste like carbonation...if that makes any sense. Its a pretty watery mouthfeel, fizzy, and crisp. All and all its pretty uninspired, but its unoffensive, somewhat tasty if your looking to drink 12 of something and its cheap. Certainly not a pale ale though.

When I want to drink for cheap, this is my #1 choice. It is still crap however. Tastes like watered down Alexander Keiths.

Light golden in color. Huge head. Clean tasting much like beer flavoured water. No after taste. Lawn mower beer.

33 cl bottle, Mulmur. Pale golden colour, tight frothy head. Sweet aroma, malty flavor, decent for the price.

Not exactly what i had in mind as an EPA. pours a Light straw colour, with no head. small traces of lacing. Slightly watery, faint aromas of lemon and a prevalent malted backbone.
