1.5 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20At Red Lion. A little watery and not much depth of flavor. Tasted old even when it wasn’t. Not so much with this one. Serving:Can

2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
500ml can. 5% abv on the label. Clear gold pour. White head with surprisingly nice clingy foam. Nose has grains and straw. Taste has some sweetness at the start, grain and bread notes and some light grass at the end. Light body, well carbonated. Overall, not a bad macro pale lager, drinkable and refreshing with no real off flavours.
2.2 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Pours a medium yellow with a white head that quickly dissipates. Nose is faint cereal. Palate is medium body with amaltiness and a dry finish with light bitterness.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
UPDATED: FEB 2, 2013 440ml can from Tesco. Rich golden colour, big foamy head. Corn resin malt aroma. Biscuit corn flavour. Quite smooth for a lager.
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Tight hop fragrance and solid lager body with sterling white head. Initially unimpressive taste, slight drip of kiwi and dryness on the palate, with a slightly up-market finish to a pissy lager.
They’ve taken a very suppable standard grade lager and added more biscuit, fairly hungry finish that takes away all the quench and simplicity. I can see why they’ve gone to the bother, but I won’t bother again.

3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Can. A bright white head tops a medium gold colored body. This has a grainy and meaty nose with some pear hints. This tastes fairly dry like hay with some raw grain. There is also some bread crust. Actually this is interesting with just enough going on to keep it drinkable. Pleasant and clean.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Aroma is sweetish/grainy malts, beery and a hint of a chemical/off element. The flavor is mildly sweet malts, fruit/cider and a mildly tart finish.
2.3 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Ok beer given to me by my bro in law. It’s another lager In which you’d expect beer. Wasn’t a big fan of the aftertaste the beer left in my mouth but sure if I drank enough of them it would grow on me.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20
Served on tap in a pint glass.
Arrived a clear medium bold with a smallish white head but with excellent lacing.
Aroma of straw, hay, and some bread. Pretty typical of a Euro pale lager.
The flavor is much like the aroma with bread and grassy noble hops. Bitterness is higher than many Euro lagers or AAL’s but it tends to get a little harsh and doesn’t meld well with the other flavors. Mouthfeel is light, crisp, and refreshing.
Overall, a good thirst quencher but that’s about it. Decent flavor but nothing really special.
2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Looks like "beer". Tastes like "beer". It’s a typical working man’s brew. Slightly maltier than north american macro but just as boring.
