The original Hawkstone Lager. Bold, yet balanced, with a smooth body and top notes of light citrus complemented by a subtle, crisp bitterness and malty backbone. Setting the standard for a British Premium Lager.

Clear, golden, with a small white head. Malty, lemony aroma. Pleasant malty flavour, with a touch of grass and lemon. Medium-bodied, dry, with a herbal-metallic bitterness. An average light lager, but without flaws, there's nothing to complain about.

Keg at The Oyster Shed, City. Clear copper gold. Foamy white head. Aroma is sweet. Malts. Honey. Slightly bitter edge. Flavourwise it's similar. Sweet honey and dough. Light. Thin. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Helles-esque. Not bad.

Bottle at home picked up from sainsbury. A crystal clear mid gold coloured pour with a a lasting pure white froth. Aroma is nice bready grains, leafy hop, light grass, herbal notes, some alcohol. Little sweet custard note on the nose. Flavour is composed of semi sweet, nutty malts, apple custard, dusty grains, light spicy hop finish. Palate is semi crisp, dusty, moderate carbonation. Pretty clean. Some alcohol in the finish.

330ml bottle. Clear pale gold, white head. Aroma of citrus, pale malts and grains. Taste is citrusy, lemon, mandarin, pale bready malts, grains, grassy hop bitterness. Decent lager, more citrus than the session one.
Gave it the same rating as the session one but think I'd take that over this.

Panda from LCB. Clear gold, small white top. A slightly soapy lemon aroma with cereal. Taste of grains, grass, lemon sherbet, light hibiscus. Mid bodied, drying, somewhat cloying, bitter. More flavour profile than your average pale lager but its not that refreshing or tasty in truth.

Bottle from the Cooperative Supermarket in the seaside town of Cromer, but I took this one away from the town centre to drink elsewhere at a later time. Healthy clear golden with a small head. Pretty standard but with a notable body to it.

Clear and golden with lots of bubbles and a big bubbly/frothy white head. Aroma is moderately sweet and grassy. Lots of carbonation, crisp and fresh with grassy malt, hints of sweetcorn and some floral hop bitterness
