Draft at the Railway, Hinckley. Light gold with a small white head. Smells of banana, artificial sweetener and tooth decay. Tastes sweet and slightly fruity. Very artificial. Decent carbonation. It's especially poor.

Pound Pub Co, Woking. Nil aroma. Bright amber, creamy head, bubbles. Sweet with sharp bitter kick. Can’t complain about palate - fresh and creamy. For a pale lager, good enough.

8th April 2015: half-pint (keg) in the Royal George, Ramsey IoM. Golden, clear and bright with a tight but lasting white head. Refreshing but almost odourless and tasteless. Slight malt presence comes through if you sniff hard enough and search for it in the mouth, but otherwise you are going to be disappointed by the brew. Surprised to see it, which is why I bought the beer while out on a cask evening on the Isle of Man.

Keg @ Wheatsheaf Inn, Broomedge near Lymm. Pale golden, well carbonated with a thin head. Has a fair body but not much in the way of flavour.

Tap at the Lakeside Country Club, Frimley Green - 05/01/13. Day 1 of the BDO World Darts Championship 2013 - how Bob Potter spoils us with great beer ! Clear pale golden with a thin bubbly white head that clears to the edge. Nose is pale malt, light fruits, hint of citrus, very muted. Taste comprises pale malt, grain, light citrus. Light in body, spritzy carbonation, thin. Crap.

500ml can. Pours gold with a medium head. Aroma is corn, pretty plain and boring. Taste is mostly carbonated water, touch of corn. Well, this is just flavourless.
