A Mes rate. Growler at LCRBM #5. Clean pale gold with a short lived white head. Slightly buttery but some lovely slightly sweet pale malt underneath along with a decent lick of hops. Clean and tasty. Nice bright hoppy finish with a developing sweetness in the aftertaste. An enjoyable start to a glorious day.

Growler at LCRBM5. Clear gold, thin white head. Some burnt butter on aroma. Not a great lager to be honest. A little empty in the mouth, a bit burnt, some decent hop sting on finish though. Burnt diacetyl on aroma. Not great.

Growler sample from LCRBM... cheers, fonefan. Pale gold color with a nutty, straw-like nose, note of lemon peel. Fairly bitter taste with a sticky resinous bit hanging on to the tongue. Lacks some cereal flavor. Very light and quite bitter, even refreshing, but out of balance.
