Trooper Sun and Steel

Crystal clear golden coloured body with a very thick, pure white head that fades pretty quickly. Aroma of light grain, a dash of lager yeast, some bread and lemons with very little else aside from metallic astringency. Light-bodied; Sharp pungent grainy and metallic flavours dominate with a lot of grass and hay notes with little else, aside from some flowers and lemons and more bitterness, this time from the light alcohol which is here. Aftertaste is crisp and fairly easy-drinking with only the light grass and grainy notes with very little else, and a touch of the alcohol and metal towards the end. Overall, not such a great beer, as expected, but when it's available, and cheap and there aren't many alternatives, this isn't a horrible option. Decent to get at least now while in South America! I sampled this 500 mL can, purchased from Jumbo [supermarket] here in central Santiago, Chile for CLP 1,279 on 09-August-2022, on my thirteenth wedding anniversary with my wife and three kids, sampled a day later on the streets of Santiago, Chile on 10-August-2022.

330ml bottle @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, Jan 22. Thanks Simon for this Asda purchase. Clear golden yellow appearance, white head. Very light but noticeable sake influence to taste, complimenting a nicely sweet lager profile, though could be more crisp and dry. Decent.

[33cl bottle from B&M, Festival Park, Hanley.] A pale straw coloured pour with a thin white head; grassy aroma; grainy body with an odd sourness (perhaps the Sake?); and a fresh finish. Not bad.

330ml bottle, bought to tick the style on Untappd that doesn't exist here. Pours clear golden with a slim white head. Aroma: grainy, citrus, floral, grassy. Taste: light to medium sweet, grains, light citrus, honey, floral. Light to medium body with low carbonation. Not special but not terrible either

Clear blond colour with thin head. Aroma has lots of sweet pale malts. Flavour starts similarly then there's an unusual fruity element, I guess from the Sake. It's ok.
