Bottle: Pasteurised. A full-bodied lager with lots of malt and hop character. A touch hoppier than many lagers yet perfectly balanced with lots of fruity hop character and fragrance.

Bottle. Pours a pale yellow golden with a small frothy white head that quickly diminishes to nothing. The aroma is sweet corn malt with honey and wheat. Thin mouthfeel with a crisp fruity malt with citrus. Easy to drink a decent pale lager from Samuel Smith

Lightly hazy - effervescent - well-sustained head - an unremarkable lager, but lacking any noticeable flaws - moderate pale malt sweetness is not quite balanced well enough by the hops, which taste a bit old, and not punchy or crisp enough to create the refreshing character you might want from the style - simple, but not in the refined way that a great lager should be.

550 ml bottle, at Café Luna, Aalborg. ABV was 5%. Golden colour, big to moderate white head. Moderate aroma of flowery and grassy hops. Allegedly "a touch hoppier than many lagers", I still find the flavour rather bland and boring. More malts than hops though. At least there are no offensive side flavours.

Sampled from a 550 ml brown bottle this beer poured a yellow-golden color with a large yellow-white head. The aroma was faint tangy and sour typical lager. The flavor was light, dryish and tangy with faint fruits and a touch of grassy hops. The finish was short and simple. Medium body. Crisp with no off flavors. Not a whole lot going on but certainly drinkable.

Bottle. Poured pale yellow gold with thick white lasting head. Aroma of grass and hop. . Light body, light flavour, hop and mint. Grassy finish. Better than most pale lagers, but not a true helles.
