0.5 l bottle, thanks to my family for this. Pours clear deep golden with thin, quickly disappearing head. Nose is weak lager-like bittersweetness. So is the taste with no distinct notes, closes with short bitterish finish. Light bodied with lively carbonation. Feels like a pale lager, not quite good.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours a light cloudy gold, moderate sized white head which receded rather quickly. Aroma is mainly sweet malts but also tangy pear and spice. Taste is malty, light fruitiness and herbal bitterness in the finish Light to medium bodied. Average.

500ml bottle into pint glass. At The Red Lion, Glencoe. Golden beer with a large foamy white head. Very slight haze, very light carbonation. Strong malty nose, some grain. Patchy lacing, very easy drinking. Taste is malty, finish is fruit toast. Very refreshing but a needs a bit more body.
