Bottle at home in London - picked up from Tesco in Hackney. Pours perfectly clear gold with a frothy white head. Decent aroma, some nice, lightly dried bread, slight cereal and hay. Light to medium sweet flavor with lightly toasted white bread, some burnt honey, toasty hay, mild citrus rind. Light bodied with average carbonation. Crisp finish, fairly clean, with further dry cereal, light bitter hay, some grains, orange rind. Pretty tasty overall. A touch watery at points but otherwise a nice, crisp lager.

50cl bottle from Tesco. I was pleasantly surprised by this. A straw coloured pour with a lasting finger of white head; some orange fruit and yeast on the aroma; a fresh citrus taste with a smooth grainy body; and a pithy, zesty, citrus finish. The taste reminds me of a Belgian Witbier.

Bottle courtesy of me on an NS tasting on the way home from Bodegraven. Poured a clear light amber with a broken bubbly white head. The aroma is stale malt with some floral citrus and a hint of caramel. The flavour is medium bitter light sweet with a smooth malt hop zesty citrus palate and a short bitter finish. Medium to light bodied with average carbonation.

500ml bottle from Tesco. Pours clear pale gold with a thin white head. Sweet honey aromas, light lemon and hay. Taste is sweet, with a light bitterness that builds towards astringency at the end. More honey and slightly soapy. An OK lager.

500ml Brown bottle: Marston/Banks’s answer to the new ’craft lager’ market in the UK. Poured into a tall ’Fosters’ glass at home on 28th Nov 13. The beer looked a good medium depth golden colour and unlike most lagers, craft or otherwise this had a white head that actually hung around for a while. The body was clear and bright with carbonation bubbles rising steadily throughout the tasting. The nose was weak citrus and nothing else, usual non-smelling lager/pilsner otherwise. The taste was a mixture of citrus hints and semi-sweet maltiness with a fruity dry finish as the hops took over again after the malty centre. Good body feel and nicely put together. This is one of the better ’craft lagers’ around at the moment in the UK (that I’ve had anyway). So well done Marston/Banks’s.
