500ml bottle. Pours clear golden with a small long lasting white head. Aroma of hops and caramel malts, a little citrus fruit too. Taste is nice, hops, some caramel, and some citric bitterness. Seemed quite similar to a lager to me.

Bottle. Appearance - golden with a proportionate head. Nose - caramel maybe even butterscotch. Then lemon comes through. Taste - lemon and caramel. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a finish that could be fresher. Overall - ok but not worth a revisit.

at a tasting, thanks, smallish creamy head, crystal clear gold color, biscuity malty aroma with a fruity hint, light fruity hoppy flavor, herbal hint and some maltiness, light to medium bitterness, light sourness. Simple but nice.

500ml bottle from Tesco - Hazy pale golden colour, medium white lacing head. Fruity aroma of ripe oranges and lime. Taste is rather on the sweet side, citrus fruit with a feint hint of bananas. Okay, but nowt special.

Bottled 500ml. K-Isolinna. BB 09/2013. Clear golden color, small white head. A bit skunky, salty English hoppy aroma. Light to medium-bodied. Nutty, woody, citrusy English hops in a bit too thin malt base. Standard British macro bitter. Not too bad, and even slightly better than keg version I had recently.
