Cask@Swan and Three Signets, Durham. Golden beer with a strong white head. The aroma is yeasty and dry, the flavour is yeasty and bitter. Overall a reasonable bitter and yeasty beer. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Tasted 23/4/2013 draught "Princess Louise", High Holburn, London. Poured a clear golden colour with a thin white bubble line for a head that laced poorly. Moderate to high carbonation shown by lots of small bubbles forming traila. Aroma of faint sour mash malt. Tasted fouly sour - terrible. Light body. One of the foulest beers I’ve tasted! (hopefully I can re-taste as I feel this foul taste was more of the fault of the pub than the beer).

Tap, The Brown Bear, Sheffield, UK. Pale yellow, soapy citrus and pepper aroma. Slightly sweet, quite carbonated. Long dry finish.

Pours a clear, pale golden color with huge fluffy, pure white head. The nose is comprised of unripe green grape, earthiness, and a note of banana. Mouthfeel is full-bodied, smooth, and wet. Just a bit of carbonation toward the finish for balance. Speaking of balance. Speaking of balance, a lot of mild flavor that is well-balanced. Not too much of anything. Sweetness on the front of the to the and tartness on the back. Soft notes of banana and bread emerge ever so subtly. Painfully drinkable.

Keg in Glasshouse Stores, London. Pale amber, frothy white head. Nose is light grainy, lager yeast, light grass/straw. Taste is a light pale lager. Grainy, slight hop bitter, crisp lager yeast. Pretty bog standard pale lager.

Well carbonated with a large head. Has a slight sweetness in its taste but a poor flavour.

Tap at Rising Sun, London. Pours perfectly clear, effervescent yellow with a super tight, white cream cap. Corn and cereal grains in the nose. Medium sweet flavor with doughy white bread, cereal, corn, faint floral bitterness. Light bodied with average, creamy carbonation. More cereal on the finish, white bread, some simple white sugar, bit of corn. The closest thing I’ve found to a British-made lawnmower beer. Not bad.

On tap (4,5%) at Sinclairs Oyster Bar, Manchester. Clear pale golden with a white head. Fairly standard pale lager, but with more fruitiness and bitterness. Refreshing and decent enough. Enjoyable outside on a sunny day in January. (2013-01-26)

Old Anchor, Tower Bridge.4.5%, Bright clear gold beer. Small white head. Light palate, crisp. Minerally. Light caraway malt and decent but mellow citric hops. Nicely balanced. A little paper in the crisp dry finish but this is a clean and quaffable lager.

Fra kran på Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese, Fleet Street 3 Nov 12. Lys gylden. Masse kullsyre som utløses fra bunnen. Høyt tett, hvitt skum. OK aroma av gress & malt. Smaken er syrlig malt med litt gress og høy. Ettersmaken er søt malt.
