0.33 bottle. Pale golden color with no foam after pouring. No outstanding aroma or taste. Its best characteristic is that it’s drinkable - enough said.

Средней паршивости лагерок. Чутка уступающий в послевкусии своему родному брату Хайнекену. Имеется легкая горчинка.

1 pint can from local shop, rated on 20th January 2pac day 2025. Yellowy gold colour, white foam head and aroma of malt, corn grain, straw, hay, grass. Taste is sweet malty, grainy, corn, some straw, papery, with earthy bitterness. Medium bodied, medium carbonation, tangy bitter finish. Quite bland.

Keg at The Round, Keswick. Clear gold, moderately fizzy and with a lasting white head. Mild grassy flavour, but quite watery. Crisp and clean aftertaste. There's really not a lot to this; it's very dull but it's refreshing enough if you're thirsty I guess.

Literally the only English beer in the first convenience shop I stopped in in the country. I’ve seen it on an association football shirt. Can. Lurid orange, white head. Aroma of light grains, pears, hints of spicy hops. Not so fruity in the taste and a tiny bit of bitterness at the end, but rather bland overall. But no disaster area.
