330 ml bottle into lager glass, bottled on 4/13/2014. Pours fairly crystal clear deep golden amber color with a 1 finger dense white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers, Spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the head. Aromas of cracker, toast, biscuit, caramel, light nuttiness, herbal, grass, light pepper, and herbal/toasted earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of bready malt and earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of cracker, toast, cereal, caramel, light nuttiness, herbal, grass, light pepper, and herbal/toasted earthiness. Minimal bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of cracker, toast, cereal, herbal, and grass on the finish for a very short bit. Okay flavor balance and robustness of bready malt and earthy hop flavors; with a dry finish and zero lingering flavors. Pretty bland/watery on flavors but not horrible. Medium carbonation and light-medium bodied; with a very smooth, crisp, and dry mouthfeel that is good. Overall this is a pretty solid low alcohol beer. Solid balance and robustness of bready malt and earthy hop flavors; and very smooth and crisp to drink. Considering the style, this was pleasant and quite enjoyable.

Once poured into a pint glass and also poured into a pilsener glass. There really wasn’t any difference.
The rest of the appearance had a clear yellow color with a fair amount of carbonated bubbles lingering to the top at a decent rate. Head? What head? Yeah, not really there.
The smell left a lot to be desired but had a light sweet corn aroma.
The taste was mainly just sweet through that sweet corn and that’s it.
On the palate, this one sat about a super light with a decent sessionability about it depending upon how many one really wants to have, I mean, well, it is a low alcohol beer for a reason.
Overall, everything’s already been said, low alcohol beer and one to me that is good for the style but one I most likely wouldn’t seek out again.

440ml can at alcohol-free Friday tasting. I can honestly say that this is, without a shadow of a doubt, the worst thing I have ever put in my mouth.

Clear pale yellow with a thin head and carbonation. Has a very dreary cereal grain aroma and taste. Not good.

Bottle to glass. Lots of wet cereal and slight corn and vegetal. Moderate cardboard. Clear light gold with a nice white head of small bubbles that dissipates quickly. Taste of husky grain. Very thin mouthfeel as taste disappears in a hurry. Slight astringency in the back. Paper.

Bottle shared at the Jolly Crispin during the RateBeer Black Country Bus Bash...I don’t know why. Pours clear yellow with a tight, white cream head. Paper and cereal comprise the aroma. Medium sweet flavor with sugary white bread and pale grains. Light bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Sugary cereal finish, some dough, corn flakes. Meh. It is what it is.

Clear, bubbly, amber with a decent white head. Caramel/cardboard aroma. Taste is grain, cardboard. Tingly carbonation. Well, at least it’s not flat....and it has a decent appearance.

Bottle generously acquired by myself and shared at the Jolly Crispin, Gornal, on the RB Black Country Bash - 06/07/13. Mid golden with a good sized off wheat head - looks like a lagery effort. Nose is pretty thin, cereals, corn, bread dough. Taste is painfully lacking, light citrus, aspartamic sugar notes, one cornflake dipped in the vat! Light body, crisp and refreshing. Radler Lite Lite - I’ve had worse but pretty pap none the less.

Shared 330ml bottle. Pours a slightly hazy gold with a small head. Aroma has hints of toffee malt with skunk and grass. Taste has corn and grass to start with a caramel malt finish.
