Keg at the Queen of Bradgate, Leicester. Deep golden with a slight white head. Low aroma of grain and a touch of nectarine. Bitter taste, unremittingly so, with a plastic-laden finish and aftertaste. Nicely carbonated for what it’s worth but this isn’t a great beer. Instantly forgettable.

18th February 2017
Almost clear gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light, dry and finely minerally crisp. Thin malts, mildly sweet. Decent hop spice. Tangy spicy orange that gets bitterish. Little tangerine. Light dry finish. Clean and reasonably hoppy. No real lager character.

Bottle: Clear, golden to orangey coloured, small lasting head; citrussy to malty-dusty nose, some dried fruits from far behind; solid dry bitter-sweet flavour, light bodied, a both tart, and soft; lingering dryish herbal and lemony-tart finish with some fruity malt as a counterpart. Good one...

330ml bottle: BBD 20th Apr 17. Poured into a Duvel glass at home on 30th Oct 16. Clear copper/bronze body, good, full white head. Resin and piney hops rule the nose and bitter taste: very un-lager like, this has an aroma and flavour! Happily have this again and most likely will: the best Freedom beer I have had by far.
