Clear golden, frothy white head. Light malty aroma with hoppy notes. Similar flavour, rather smooth with short bitter finish. Ok.

660ml bottle, freebie with a takeaway curry. Clear golden amber colour, foamy white head leaving some lacing and aroma of malt, grain, cardboard, metallic. Taste is sweetish, malt & grain, with straw, cardboard and metallic bitterness. Watery mouthfeel, light bodied, highly carbonated, lingering sweet malty & dry bitter finish. Bland lager.

Bottle at an Indian restaurant in Radlett, Herts. A golden coloured pour with a thin white head on top. Vague hoppy, citrus aroma. Tastes the same, slightly hoppy, citrus, malty. It actually went rather well with my Chicken Madras. Certainly not a beer that I would normally drink but this was the only beer that they had.

Bottle at restaurant, Bod�. Pours a clear dark straw colour with a small, off-white head. Aroma of pale malt, grass, citrus and some cooked vegetables. The flavour is slightly sweet, light and dry with some grass, pale malt and hay. Has a light and watery mouth feel, and a light bitterness. An okay and light pale lager, nothing special.
