Bottle from B&M Bargains; clear golden pour with white frothy head, difficult to detect any significant aroma just a feint whiff of malt, taste like a decent quality macro pale lager, malts, tiny hop, some skunkiness.

26.03.2013. 0,5l Bottle. Thanks to Gunnar! Golden yellow colour with white head. Grassy with notes of straw and hay. A little sharp grassy flavour.Medium body with nice malty flavours. Aftertaste is bitter with a soft sweetness, with notes of hay or yellow dry straw.

Pours clear golden with a big creamy white head. Aroma is mild grainy, grassy hops. Taste is moderate sweet caramel, som light citrussy hops, weak and anonymous beer.

500ml bottle, cloudy deep yellow colour, nicely carbonated but slightly oily texture, pleasant taste with a slightly bitter after taste

Bottle at home on 3rd February 2013. Pours golden amber with diminishing white foam and patterned lacing. Fruity, sweetish aroma with some grassy hops, peach notes. Plenty of sweet fruits and grapefruit citrus in-mouth; dryish finish on a zingy mouthfeel, light to medium body.

Hazy golden yellow with good head. Aroma is grassy hops with citrus hints. Medium bodied with good smooth carbonation. Flavour is quite light, with a nice balance of slight light malt sweetness and citrus tang. There are enough other subtle flavours to make this interesting - spice and a pleasant gentle bitterness. A nice beer.

Golden yellow. Not much on the nose.....little bit of malt and bread. Taste has good balance but nothing really interesting standing out. Medium body that ends up fairly soft on the palate. A refreshining beer but not much to this one.

500ml brown glass bottle from Morrisons. £1.50. A very pleasant pale beer. Clean, biscuit malt. Noble hops. Ask me and I’d say this is a Czech lager - 5% at least. It’s an ale at 4.5%. And I suppose that’s one of the main differences between the brewing methods - the residual sweetness and body of a ale is weight for weight higher than a lager. The Brits are experts at making low abv ale.

50cl bottle from Morrisons. Amber with a billowing white head; floral aroma; soft in the mouth with some light citrus and caramel; and a lightly bitter finish. Pleasant enough, but rather average.

Bottle, from Sainsburys Scunthorpe. Pale gold, thin shortlived white head and low condition. Pleasant sweet aroma with hints of elderflower and hops, soft and sweet in the mouth with more gentle elderflower and citrus notes, balanced by a delicate hop bitterness. Finish is gentle but sustained flowery hop and some grain.
