Bottle taken away from Ye Hole in Ye Wall, drunk in our hotel. Shit, it's a gusher. Lost 20% of it when we opened the bottle. It pours light gold, hazy with a tiny bit of head. Weird smell. Predominantly of mint. Tastes odd, not bad but od do: sweet and malty with more mint and a light herbal note. I hated it at first but it grows on me. Soft carbonation with a full, almost gritty body, leaving a medicinal nutty aftertaste. Not terrible but terribly messy.

Bottle thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - golden with a decent thin head. Nose - pale malt and lemon. Light spice. Taste - more malt and lemon. Palate - light bodied and dry. Edge of astringent but not bad. Overall - decent lager this!

Bottle from Barrica Wines Botany Bay. Pours clear pale gold with a thin white head. Aromas of lemon and pale malt. Taste is light sweet malt and faint citrus, decent for what it is.
