As Tettley Smooth Ale. Golden colour with a tight white head. Aroma and taste are very light malty bitter. Slight sweet finish. Smooth but thin.

Fair to say I drank gallons of this stuff in my youth - but not sure it is anything like the beer it was back then. Looks lovely, clear and amber with a creamy white head and a grainy, fruity aroma. Light malt and light fruit combine nicely in the flavour, with a floral hop bitterness always there, but it's thinner than I recall and the flavours are not as well-balanced as before

Keg at Broadway Park Hotel, Sandown. Aroma has dark berries and grains. Clear light chestnut. Creamy white head. Light bitter before developing a sour berry streak. Underlying biscuity malts. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Flat-average carbonation. Long finish. Bland but drinkable.

Can from Asda, drunk on New Year's Eve in memory of Dave who always liked his low-strength UK industrial lagers. Dave - we miss you. This one's clear gold with a lasting white head and a moderate fizz. It tastes - unexpectedly - like a thinned down Belgian ale. Belgian yeast runs throughout; there's some white bread from the malt and a spicy coriander seed and white pepper kick. The lager makes itself known with some light grassy hops in the crisp finish. This was much better than I expected; maybe not something Dave would have liked (sorry Dave!) but I actually rather enjoyed it. A decent way to toast the memory of a great bloke. Cheers Dave!
