Keg at The Vine, Cheltenham. Clear yellow gold, white head. Aroma of bready malts, light grassy hop. Taste is the same, sweet-ish malts, bready, grassy hop, light citrus, some bitterness to finish. Light bodied. Decent but not amazing Helles.

568ml can from Redland Stores, Bristol. Golden in colour, with a small but tight, white, head and moderate carbonation. Aroma of crisp lager malts, with a flowery edge and hint of sweetness. Flavour had biscuity malts, a slight herbal edge and general fruitiness, before a subtle yet linger bitter finish. An enjoyable lager with character.
