Can. This is another variety of water beer that is great with a curry at 2 am.

Pale yellow with a good carbonation. Ordinary lager with a fair nose. Fairly easy to drink.

Aroma: Almost no aroma - hints of grain and metal.

Appearance: Clear golden body with a thin white head. Lively carbonation. Very light lacing marks.

Taste: Corn, straw and grain.

Palate: Thin body with a watery texture. Fizzy carbonation.

Overall: Not a great beer - no flavour, complexity or body. Tastes more or less the same as other macro-brewed lagers.

Used to be popular but much less so today. Unpleasant taste; neutral aroma; may help to clear the palate in the presence of curry (but then so don’t most lagers?). Nothing to justify its’ consumption.

another one for teh "bleurgh" file. watery, horrible taste. thankfully not as widely available as it once was

UPDATED: FEB 29, 2012 Can. Golden colour with a white head. Malty and light fruity nose. Medium malty flavour, a bit flat.

Draft at a Scottish-themed pub in Rome. A little overcarbonated and slightly corny, but not a bad pale lager.

this is one of the least flavoursome beers that has ever been made. it is the sort of beer that you would only drink if someone gave you it at a party and didnt want to offend them.

Keg at the Coach and Horses, Brierley Hill. Pours gold with a medium head. Aroma is non existent. Taste has some corn to start. Corn with a little lemon In the finish.

On draught at the Purple Turtle in Reading. Fizzy golden lager with a semi-permenant head. Malty and mild, better than expected. Bland but not terrible. The aroma is malty plain lager. Drab, less than average lager.
