12th December 2020 Can. Light haze on this slightly pale gold beer, tidy white head. Palate is light and fairly dry, a good fine minerally carbonation. Clean light lager malts, a trace of breadiness. Good crisp hops. Crisp pine and light winey grape. The description on the can days peachy and it's hard to argue, a soft peach with a bare hint of Melba as well. Not had Astra hops before z would be good if someone would showcase them. Light semi dry finish. This is a great modern lager and hugely drinkable, my only issue is that it very slightly thin and just a bit too dry. But it's bloody crushable nonetheless.

26-11-20 // 500ml can from CW online. Lovely modern lager. Canned 02 July, now I need an even fresher one. Damn soft and smooth. Light sweet malts, bready. Light citrus and floral with a drier white grape aroma. Lower bitterness. Great.

Can at home on arrival back from Sicily, immediate beer on entry due to 32 degree heat, 9th August 2020. Pours a clear straw colour. Aroma is bready, yeast, hay and grass. Taste is dough, yeast and light floral and bread, a rounded and smooth medium bitter finish. Just lovely
