Tight white head stayed in a finely carbonated pale amber coloured body. Medium to full bodied, smooth & dry as bone. Malt, wet cardboard, cereal & biscuit tastes. Had worse.

Tap. Clear amber golden. Apple, old hay, grainy. Taste is not half as bad as I expected; oily creamy aftertaste, surprisingly full front, even a bit chewy and some crunch, decent bitterness. This is not bad, even drinkable.

Not the most sophisticated cider tasting notes from me: clear pale yellow, small bubbly white head, soft sweet apples on the nose, very fizzy, very cold, semi-sweet apple taste with a dry finish

Servida en copa pilsner. Color dorado claro cristalino, espuma blanca bien retenida. Tenue aroma a malta y lúpulo floral. En boca es ligera, fresca, algo dulce, notas de pan, cereal, malta...Sinceramente debo decir que mucho mejor de lo que yo esperaba, he probado lagers industriales mucho peores con mejores puntuaciones. Se bebe fácil y es agradable

Keg at North Camp. Farnborough. Standard yeasty lager aroma. Copper gold. Think creamy white head. Goes down easily enough - not overly sweet, some bitterness to it. Thin. Watery. Raised by soft carbonation. Short finish. Perfectly drinkable on a hot day but also instantly forgettable.
