Can from Premier shop, Stratford-Upon-Avon. Cloudy pink with thin head. Nice if artificial and sweet raspberry aroma. Taste has a grainy background with raspberry fruitiness and not overly sweet as expected. Watery to light bodied but not over-carbonated and works well enough for a 2% radler. For the style this one is quite good.

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.

Can on an Air Baltic flight from Gatwick to Tallinn. Aroma combines metallic hops, light citrus and a sugariness. Clear light gold. Thick frothy foamy white head. Flava mirrors the aroma. Woody and metallic bitterness with light citrus. Damp malts. Slightly soapy. Light. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. More industrial lager than Pils. OK at best.

10/8/2024. Bottle. Pours clear golden with plenty of effervescence and a lasting frothy white head. Aroma is malty, light hops, citrus, caramel, hint of berries and sulphur. Quite sweet with moderate bitterness and body. Average to soft carbonation. Finished slightly metallic carboardy and a bit clammy. Started quite well on a very hot day but enjoyment faded quite quickly.
