Can from local Aldi store. Pours pale gold with white foam. Aroma: cereals, hay, grass. Taste: dry-ish. Hoppy hints. Floral hints. Crisp. Too much bitterness for the style, for me. Not awful but not great either

440ml can. Pours a pale gold in colour, with plenty of fizz, and a frothy, white, head. Light and sweetish aroma of ripe cereals, hay and bittering hops. Flavour had some lemon and apricot fruit, crisp lager malts, and a hint of herb, before a long, bitter, finish with a touch of hop. A good beer by Aldi and Freedom.

[44cl can from my local Aldi.] A straw coloured pour with a loose white head and gentle carbonation; strong English hop aroma; immediately bitter in the mouth with a soft sweetish grainy body; then more green hops to finish. Surprisingly good.
