1.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
Keg @ Premier Inn M6, Carlisle. 051011
Golden, clear, rocky white head.
Aroma - Grainy, corn, not much hop, bit harsh.
Taste - cereal, grains, light sweet malts, cardboard, some bitter hops, harsh metal notes, chemicals, poor taste.
Very high carb, bitter metallic finish.
Lousy macro lager. Not good. Never liked this stuff.

Keg at Brass Monkey. Had a taste o’ Miggy’s. Had many pints of my own in the past. Golden to Orange. Fizzy. Mild nod at a Belgian yeast strain. Pretty dull malt profile. Bad really. I hear it’s better on the continent.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Draught in Budapest. Pours a regular pale lager color; golden with a quickly dissipating white head. Aroma is light straw and malt. Taste is much of the same. Refreshing in the 35+ heat, but that’s about it.
2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Poured from bottle into tulip glass. Clear, light gold color with firm, white foam. Good noble hops aroma. A well-balanced and easy-drinking lager, an upgrade from the typical American Light Lager. Don’t judge me: but blend Stella with fresh-squeezed orange juice for an out-of-this-world mimosa.
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Fittingly, I wrote my rating for this on the sick bag during our flight home from Belgium. From a can. This "beer" pours a blonde colour with a thick white head. Big bready yeast aroma with some barley and faint caramel notes. Flavour was again dominated by bready yeast with caramel, grassy hops and a subtle metallic finish.
2.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 5/20
This brew poured up a clear, light-golden colored body with a white frothy head that dissipates very quickly and left no lacing. Standard norm on the scents and flavors as that of adjunct lagers: grains, hops, malts. Light-bodied, easy to drink, highly carbonated with a clean, dry, hoppy finish. A good brew to have with some zesty fish-n-chips!

Draft. Taste of wet cardboard and metal. Not a pleasant flavor. Would rather have most other lagers over this.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
50cl can. Drank it straight out of the can. Normal pilsener taste. With some hay, hops and a Belgian yeast touch. Comparable with Jupiler. An ok pilsener.
