damn good lager, fresh and left behind from the company at a promotion at my club, the Adelaide Club. Above average lager, easy mouthfeel.

Pale yellow, no real head. Aroma is sweet with a very slight fruitiness. A fruitiness that comes across as more vinegar like. Could be a bunk batch.

Bottle, 355 ml; eye: gold with a white head that disappears rapidly, a bit of effervescence, clear; nose: malt, honey, hops (floral and citrus) mouth: a bit of caramel, finale lightly bitter with a hint of malt at the very end, medium body, relatively thin, lightly fizzy, lightly sweet, bitter and malted FRANÇAIS Bouteille, 355 ml; oeil : dorée avec une mousse blanche qui disparaît rapidement, un peu d’effervescence, claire; nez : malt, miel, houblon (floral et citron) bouche : un peu de caramel, finale légèremen amère avec une pointe de malt à la toute fin, corps moyen, relativement mince, légèrement pétillante, légèrement sucrée et amère, légèrement malté

Bottle - uninspired pour of a slightly less pale yellow than the Charleston but still nothing to write home about. Non existant head wasn’t around long enough to get any sense of its colour or character. Bland flavour with just the faintest hint of a citrus finish in the after taste. Bit of a dissapointment....

Draught sample at Golden Tap Awards. Light golden colour with a medium white head. Strong malty nose with something I can’t quite recognize - tobacco, maybe? Some earthy tones there, with a slight hop tang. Full mouthfeel. Flavour starts quite sweet and fruity - a bit TOO fruity, I think - with a soft middle, and a touch of sourness in the finish. It’s OK, quite quaffable, but not outstanding.

Taps on tap. Clear golden, ray of amber, small fine white top. Aroma was in line with Cream Ale but less of that unfortunate sugar candy, slightly bitterer as well. Medium bodied. This is very sweet lager, under fermented sugars? Slightly earthy finish that was not enough to balance this act.

Aroma:Light sour,light malt aroma... Appearance:light hazy amber-cooper,small head... Flavor:light sour,light malt flavor,light spicy...I think some infection begin...

Bottle. Limpid golden body with average carbonation and a fair white bubbly head. Nice hoppy (Golding or Cascade)aroma with grainy and fruity notes. Its taste is well balanced and ends with a sharp bitter finish. Good introduction to micro beers.
