330ml can at the Ale Stone, Aylestone. Yellow gold and hazy with a large loose off-white head. Aroma is lots of lemon, metallic, grass. Sweet taste with lemon zest, a tangy hard citrus bitterness closer to the finish. More lemon in the aftertaste, soft to medium carbonation. A very decent Helles.

On tap at BrewDog Soho. Clear deep gold amber colour lasting white head. Toffee butter aroma. Diacetyl then a boring lager underneath. Don't make a lager with diacetyl. Not good.

330ml can. Golden straw colour, white foamy head leaving alittle lacing and grassy grainy aroma. Taste is grainy, malty, sweetish, citrus, with some straw, hay and grassy bitterness. Light to medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry grassy bitter finish. Quite OK.
