Thanks to Sean (Seanyfo) for this bottle. Amber colour in the glass, nose is a bit sweet, grainy. The beer starts malty, not as sweet as expected, but still a bit grainy. The slight sweetness continues in the main part, accompanied with a light to moderate bitterness, that grows to the aftertaste a bit stronger. The aftertaste is malty, medium dry, grainy-sweetish. --> Interesting eer, but I don’t like that grainy-sweet aroma - for me it lowers the drinkability and I won’t buy this beer again! --> 7/10/6/7

500ml bottle. Clear dark golden colour with average to huge, frothy, lasting, white head. Grainy aroma, a minimal touch of grass and hay. Taste is slightly sweet malty with a fruity touch, later dry, husky with a minimal bitter hop note.

50 cL clear bottle. Pours clear and golden yellow with a huge white head. Aroma is mild fruity, grassy, light straw - almost pilsner like. Bitter, grassy, slight herbal and dry flavoured. Lasting bitter and grassy finish. Vague accents of being an ale, but rather pilsner like.

Golden amber, crystal clear, big frothy white head with some lacing
Aroma - overall very light, touch of minerals, bit of yeast, light toffee, slight buttery note, light hay hops
Taste - light toffee malt...very light citrus...soft bitter hay hops...touch of minerals...bit of yeast...rather bland but quite drinkable
Palate - soft carb, light body, light bitter, touch of citrus. Finish as main flavour with some light toasted biscuit in linger with an edge of minerals. but not metallic
Overall - OK as a supermarket beer and it’s rather bland for me, but its refreshing and very easy to drink....it’s not that bad to be honest

Bottle (4%) at home in London. Pours clear, light gold with a foamy, white head. Dull, lightly toasted bready malts in the aroma with some definite pasteurization character. Light sweet flavor with bready malts that taste like pizza crust - kind of nice, actually. Light to medium in body with fine, fizzy carbonation. Faint leafy bitterness to finish, some drying, light bread. Really, the overall character of this beer is impressively light. Having just run a good 8k it’s pretty refreshing, but in almost any other circumstances this beer would just come across as wimpy.

A faint aroma, medium bodied, but also a very bland bitterness to its taste.

500ml bottle at 4%. Pours amber with a small frothy head. Aroma is mostly skunk with some fruity malt. Taste is pretty much the same, just skunk and some fruity malt trying to fight its way through.
