Bottle. Beer Central II. Barrel and Anvil actually. Weird colour this. Looks like bin juice. Decent head though. Nose has cereal. Some vague hop notes. But mostly it smells oxidised. Taste is semi sweet. Some bitterness. Drinks reasonably better than it looks, but not by much. Fuck sake.

This is elite. Lovely fresh pale cereal, biscuits. Mellow grassy and earthy hops, an accent of citrus peel. Super moreish. Extremely drinkable.

Medium body and moderate carbonation. A robust and flavourful lagerbier. Really got deep into this.
