330ml bottle. Gold with a thin head and no retention. Aroma is malty and a bit of stewed veg; not great. Taste is malts and butterscotch which I now know is an off-note, but is not that unpleasant in this instance. Better that than the stewed starchy veg water I was expecting! Light to moderate body but a very aggressive carbonation on the tongue which is off-putting. Dry and grainy but it is a point of difference to other lagers. Its not great but I don't hate it. It has a certain rustic and amateur quality to it.

24/2/2021. 355ml can from LowCostBeer.com. Pours clear golden with a small frothy off-white head. Aroma is grainy, sweet, malty, bready, caramel, touch of honey. Very sweet, with low bitterness. Medium body, sticky texture, average carbonation. Not bad but too sweet for my liking.

One litre in a plastic bottle from an out of date keg. Drank at home on 9th Feb 2021. Golden amber body, short lived white head. Light bready/grainy nose and taste, mild hop bitterness. An easy drinking beers that deserves higher scores than it appears to be receiving on RateBeer.

Pours an amber from a tap, grainy aroma. Sweet light wheat flavor finishes with some slight bitterness, meh.

12oz bottle pours a clear gold. Nose of honey, perfume, corn. Flavor is the same, corny, perfume. Simple. Finishes sweet. No guts.

Bottle from Booths, Media City. Golden-amber with no head. Has a fair mix of aromatic and flavoursome fruits, and lager malt.

Bottle from the Architect, Cambridge. Mid gold and a tiny bit hazy. Respectable white head results from diligent pouring. Grassy hop with a spicy note in the aroma. Really lovely taste: sweet and grainy without the harshness found in many similar beers. A bit gluey in the aftertaste. A good enough beer, nothing special but imminently drinkable.

Bottled 355ml (AbM)
Slightly hazy yellow color, tiny white head. Aroma is grainy with light fruityness and honey. Light-bodied. Honeyish sweetish malty flavor. Low bitterness. Crisp. Somehow doesn’t feel very "craftbeerish".
