330ml can. Poured a clear golden colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head. The aroma is malt, light citrus, woody hops. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a crisp, somewhat light, malt, herbal, woody hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

Can from Lidl. Clear gold, small loose white top but surprisingly resilient. Aroma of semi-sweet malts, light gooseberry, spice; pleasant but muted. Taste is quite grainy and resinous, mild grape, bitter back end. Light to medium bodied, semi-dry. Another average beer from Freedom but perfectly drinkable. They seem to suck all the good hop flavours out of their beers. I know they brew to a low price point though so won't be too critical.

Blik gedeeld door Koenzie geprobeerd met Roelzie. Het is een helder goudgeel bier met een volle witte schuimkraag welke. Het heeft een hoppige geur en smaak.

Can thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - golden orange and white head. Nose - toasted, muesli and orange. Taste - burnt toast, astringent malt. Palate - light bodied and quite astringent. Overall - a bit gnarly.

[33cl can from Lidl, Crowthorne.] A bright amber pour with a loose white head; malty aroma with a touch of wine must; crisp malty taste with a little citrus and some bitter herbs; then some sharp grapefruit to finish.

Can from Lidl, High Wycombe. Attractive deep gold colour with a lasting white head. Looks quite fizzy visually, but in the mouth it's actually nice and smooth with a pleasingly gentle fizz. The taste is harshly bitter from the off. There's some flavour behind the bitterness - maybe pepper, caramel and some green fruit like gooseberry or kiwi - but it's difficult to grasp it because the bitterness just over-rides everything. Very disappointing - seems they've ruined some of my favourite hops here by using them for bittering rather than aroma. To summarise - nice looks and mouthfeel, but everything else is terrible.
