(can, 44cl) Slightly unclear, pale golden colour with a short frothy white head. Mildly sweet and malty aroma with shy fruity accents and a tinge of liquorice and traces of spicy hops. Faint bitter flavour, light bodied with slightly crispy mouthfeel. Malty and fruity taste with shades of liquorice and shy hints of hops towards the slightly fruity and short finish. Not bad at all. 07.IV.10

Can (found by Stefan!): Greenish-golden, relatively quickly collapsing loose white head; sweetish-grainy nose with very light illusions of (english?) hops; light sweet flavour with a bitter touch, light bodied as expected; increasing hoppyness towards the sweet and bitter finish. Not too bad, but top-fermented british brews seem to be better.....

[on tap at Ferryboat Inn, Fishguard] Nice deep gold with a large, smooth white head. Too fizzy by half. Honey dominates with some dusty hay and a slight sourness. Not bad for a pale lager.

Draught (Clwb Ifor Bach,Cardiff) - Golden in colour with some light grapefruit hints. Fruity taste with grapefruit and peach. More like a golden ale than a lager like it is intended to be like.

Pint on tap, served chilled at The Goat Major, Cardiff. The beer was launced in October 06 as "an extra Cold Continental-style beer". Pale golden coloured body. Lasting white foamy head with some lacing on the glass. Aroma of citric sweetness. Taste like lemonade and juicy fruit. Fizzy and active carbonated. Should be very refreshing in the summertime (02.02.2007).
