Can at home in Hackney - picked up from Clapton Craft OG. Pours clear yellow-gold with a mellow, foamy white head that settles into a cream. Light sweet flavour with notes of pale biscuits mild bitter straw, a little white sugar, bread crust. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Pretty clean to finish, light bitter grass and crispy straw, more biscuits, dried cereal. Very nice.

440ml can. Mostly clear golden, white head. Aroma of pale malts with a little caramel. Taste is the same, pale malts, grains, slightly biscuity, caramel, grassy floral hops and a good bitter finish. Decent lager. New recipe this year- no more Munich malt focus, ABV lowered to 5%, and basically a pilsner. Why change it?

Keg at the brewery. Hazy gold beer, tidy pale cream colour head. Palate is soft and semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Nice rich pale malts, some cream. Little ripe fruits and mild spice. Decent lager.
