Pours a clear yellow with an alright white head. Good pilsner malt aroma with a light hop note. Taste is about the same pilsnery and a light hop bitterness on the finish. A good medium body with a crisp clean balanced taste. A good lager for a warm day.

Draught at The White Horse on Parsons Green (London), pours a clear and bright gold. Bitter and grainy, disappointingly average.

Outstanding, drinkable sessionable lager. Honestly, maybe the best hot-day beer I’ve had to date. Does it blow my mind? maybe not, but its a well made thirst quenching beer with few flaws.

Poured from a bottle, clear gold color. Grassy, citrusy aroma. Malt and hops in the flavor with a bitter hoppiness bite in the end. Fizzy. Not stellar, but drinkable.

Pours a clear pale golden with off white head. Aroma of grass, citrus. Light, crisp beer, nothing special though

On tap at the Knickerbocker. Light spicy nose, sweet with a bit of coriander or orange peel. Not much hop aroma. Pale golden clear with thin white head. Medium light watery body with heavy-fizzy carbonation. Starts with medium acidity and very little malt sweetness. Carbonic fizzy bite combines with strong hop bitterness. Bitter finish with clea after. Nice bite. Clean and refreshing.
