Straw Aroma, light apple and wet paper. Full mouth feel, soft carb. Dried straw, pale cereals.... Hints of grass. Pretty boring.

Bottle from Dikkers Slijterij, Hoogeveen. Aroma is sweetish grainy malt, straw, bready notes, some caramel, buttery notes and a slight hint of fruits from the hops. Flavour is above moderate sweet and light to moderate bitter. Body is medium. Slightly buttery and sweetish Pilsener, not exactly how I like ’em.

Bottle from LCB. Clear gold, small white top which recedes quickly. Sweet malt and damp aroma with a touch of grass. Taste has an ok bready malt and light caramel character with a reasonable bitter grassiness. Lacks some bite and has a slight wateriness to it. There is a lot worse out there.

Crown Inn Coldingham, bottle. Only slight hoppy aroma, creamy head. Good lacing, maybe a bit fizzy and bland, but certainly not a bad lager. It has the typical Belhaven saltiness, some Franconian maltiness and a very clean palate.

330ml bottle from Ken Warne, Darlington. Golden colour, white foam head and aroma of grain, grassy. Taste is malt, grainy, with fruity, grassy, earthy bitterness. Light bodied, soft carbonation, dry grassy bitter finish. Quite OK

Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.
