Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up from Dalston Aldi. Pours clear pale gold with a small, creamy white topping. Classic vegetal nose. Light sweet flavour with pleasant crispy cereal, cabbage, a little straw. Light bodied with average carbonation. Decent balance to finish, restrained sweetness, more pale cereal. Nice stuff. Everything a cheap pale lager should be.

500ml bottle. Pours pale yellow, small white head, ok retention. Aroma is corn, slight flora, all very light on hops and not great. Body is very light but just a notch above watery. Carbonation works fine. Taste is semi-sweet, grain, thin in flavour. Overall typical macro type lager. Quite poor but not terrible.

Bottle. Golden and fizzy, leading to a billowy head. An easy drinking lager, with sweet malts, a hint of sharp fruit and moderately bitter finish. A bit gassy, but did the job on a hot summer’s day.
