473mL can, pours a clear dull copper with a small white head. Aroma brings out spicy sprucy woody hops, biscuity malt, and a touch of dankness. Flavour has a strange herbal hop character, with a touch of sprucy woody hop character, some herbal notes, and bready malt. There's a touch of vegetal character and some very gentle onion notes on the finish. It's alright.

On tap at The Barley Merchant, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma is herbal, with grassiness and straw. Flavour is fairly bitter, with grassy hops, plenty of bitterness, and straw. Not the most vibrant but seems more or less indistinguishable from regular Stolen Bike, which isn't an exciting beer even for the style. It's alright—clean at least.

Poured from 473mL can. Clear yellow gold with white head. Has that typical rice lager backing (never been a fan), with mild tropical hops and a hint of pine on the finish. Average.

Poured from the tap (during the film shoot). Very dark brown with small beige head. Simple roasty malt, bourbon is virtually undetectable. It’s basic and inoffensive.
