Keg half-pint in the lovely Admiral Benbow, on the seafront at Chapel St Leonards, Lincolnshire 15th Jan 2017. Bought purely for the rate as I had never seen it before (except on my first visit to this bar in late 2016). Looked like and had the aroma of a dry European lager/pilsner. So golden, bright and clear: unlasting snow white head and very little nose. Actually I found it fine and thought it could stand up against many of it’s stronger European cousins in all aspects. Decent.
