2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20Complete crap. I’m a fan of British beers, but this is just crap. Taste like no lager I’ve ever tasted. Strange after taste. When in London avoid at all cost.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Golden, small head. Aroma is floral and from toffee. Toffee comes back in the flavor together with some bread. Bitter finish, a good lager.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Yellow/golden, smalle head. Aroma is clearly malty from toffee and butter. Flavor is malty with floral touches. Buttery palate and a somewhat bitter finish. This was a nice surprise to me...
2.2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Young's Export Premium Lager, Keg
Pale color. Undistinguishable aroma. Light taste, but with an original flowery note (elderflower). Dry.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
On Tap, The Courthouse, Dartford. Slightly fuller bodied than the Pilsner with a more prounced malt presence and a better balance with the hops. Remains good tasting for longer than the Pilsner. Salty finish.
1.9 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 6/20
I had this side-by-side with the Young's Pilsner. This had just a wee bit more head than the pilsner, but not enough to discount the possibility of just two different glasses. Perhaps it is a faint shade darker (more orange) as well, but close enough to make no odds. You really wouldn't necessarily pick these two apart by appearance. Grassy, dusty aroma, with a pretty ugly similar flavor. At home this would have been a drain pour, but at the pub it was just the better part of a half-pint left on the table as I left. (on tap, Kings Arms, Oxford)
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Sampled on tap in London. Pale, glowing golden. Thin head but tons of lace. Malty nose with a hint of hops. Very flavorful--lightly fruity, prefect hop bitterness in the finish. A damn fine lager.
3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
UPDATED: SEP 8, 2003 Draught: I had this on tap at a pub called the Spread Eagle in London. The beer was a nice golden color. It had a little head, with not much carbonation to it. There was a slight hop aroma to it. There was also a similar mild hoppiness to the taste. This had a good bit more of a malty body than your typical lager. Very smooth. I'm guessing that it is very different in bottles than on tap, based on other reviews of this beer.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
tsandard lager,bland malt base with a light hop finish.
expected better from Youngs.
0.5 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 1/20
Complete crap. I’m a fan of British beers, but this is just crap. Taste like no lager I’ve ever tasted. Strange after taste. When in London avoid at all cost.
