12 oz. bottle. Clean pale malt aroma, seems a bit dusty, and very, very light grassy hop. Pale brassy gold color with a white head that quickly diminished. Medium body; mild, sort of fizzy, carbonation. The flavor is light sweet malt, with some non-grassy, only slightly bitter hop. But in the finish the malt goes a bit veg, and the hop goes a bit bitter. Rather dry finish. Overall the mouth stood up and took notice.

12 oz bottle purchased at Spirits Red Bank. This is with out a doubt the worst looking beer that I have rated to date. Poured a super super thin pale yellow with no visible carbonation and a fizzy quickly diminshing white bubbly head. Aroma is just bad, maybe some malts but it’s just funky in a bad way. Flavor suprisingly isn’t horrible but still not something I enjoyed. Tolerable is a fairly accurate description. Luckily the aftertaste quickly fades and leaves room for you to go get a good beer and forget about this one.

Pours a pale yellow w/ a full froth. Good hangtime and the lacing is full and lasting. Aromas of aged grains. Medium nectar w/ ample soft residual effers. has a nice cotton texture. Malty and very rustic w/ aged citrus and musty malted grains. A buttery flavor appears quickly and lingers. Theres a defined hop bittering that makes the beer more enjoyable. It actually makes it taste more fresh. The finish is bittered nicely w/ velvety hops. Overall: it’s actually quite complex for such a boring style. The game play between the aged, rustic character and the fresh hops is enjoyable.

12 oz bottle from bevmo. Pours a a very pale yellow with a lacy white head that quickly vanishes. Pretty much NO aroma. Very little flavor, just sort of a sweet metallic effect. No hops. Light prickly carbonation. Thin and watery palate. No finish. It just hardly gets any worse than this.

VERY pale in colour no head apart from a couple of tiny islands of thin bubbles in the middle of the glass. Virually no aroma or flavour. Thin and watery, a sort of Kenyan Bud. Tesco Galashiels, cant remember the price but considering the lack of anything, it’s overpriced!

Bottle courtesy of Acknud. Pours gold with a white head. Smells of corn, sweet malt, some apples. Tastes of corn, sugar, honey some citrus. Finish is slightly bitter. Surprisingly full bodied for a pale lager.
