Fra fat på The Zetland Arms, South Kensington: klar gylden med fint skum som varer. Mildt anslag med litt citrus og furunål. Ok bitterhet, og selv om ettersmaken er heller korr var det en grei forfriskning før jeg legger i vei mot Natural History Museum.

Lys gul noe tåkete med hvitt skum. Lukter noe sitrus og gress. Lett. Søt, noe bitter. Smaker stenfrukt, gress og noe brød. Kort.

Keg at Malt House, Birmingham. Clear gold with small white top. It has a orange and lime pithiness with light tang and some grainy malt. Light bodied, semi drying with a nice zesty prickliness to the carbonatation. I'm not sure why but I took to this one, very refreshing lager with a fruity edge. Overpriced through.

Clear pale yellow colour with thin head. Mildly flavoured. Just a hint of sweet pale malt. Almost no hop presence or bitterness.

Can at home, thanks to Michael next door, 02/12/23. Clear golden with a decent lasting white head. Nose is grass, straw, pale malts, lemon rind, herb, hedgerow. Taste comprises light aspartamic notes, straw, perfume, grains, herb. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Passable fayre.

Keg draught at the Spotted Dog, Digbeth. Light to mid-gold, clear with loads of visible carbonation. A tiny little white head. Light malty and slightly metallic aroma. Taste is sweet but the sweetness doesn't run away with it. A little bit of dryness in the finish. Exceedingly heavy carbonation. It's a step up from the most macro of lagers, it's not a great beer but enjoyable enough with some decent flavour.

Draught, half-pint, shared with Finn at Rutland Arms. Clear late straw coloured body leaving spotty lacing on the glass. Pearl white head with fine duration. Modest smell of grass and pale malts. Moderate taste profile with grassy hops, ripe citrus and soft malts. Mid-dry finish, rather short. Easy going. (Hammersmith, London, 03.10.2023)
