Bottle split at Cotts Convention V, T Hanks, 08/06/19. Pale golden blonde with a decent off white cap. Nose is grass, pale malts, straw, papery twang. Taste comprises pale malts, cereals, grains, pretty basic all round. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Sub par even for a PLCS (pale lager country scope).

Shared at the Cotteridge convention 2019. Poured a clear light straw colour with a bubbly white head. The aroma is gluey grainy malt, light woody hop. The flavour is moderate to light bitter, with a light, watery, malt, light hop bitter palate. Medium to light bodied with average carbonation.
