Keg at the Bat and Ball, Holmer Green, 15/01/22. Clear golden, carbonation evident, good sized lasting white crown. Nose is pale malts, cereals, grains, paper. Taste comprises pale malts, toasted grains, light citrus, cereals, grass. Medium bodied, light spritzy carbonation, semi drying close. Refreshing macro affair ... fine for the show genre.

440ml can. Pours clear gold with white head. Aroma: sweet-ish malts, grains, hay. Taste: light to moderate sweet & light bitter, light hops and lager yeast. Medium body with soft carbonation. There are many mass produced macro lagers that taste worse than this one

330ml bottle from B&M bargains that has been sat in the fridge for nearly a year. Solid gold body, nothing on top. Nose is stewed corn, taste is syrupy and booze heavy. One for sitting in the park with once my life takes a massive downward turn.

*Rating overgezet 2017* Het is een helder goudgeel bier met een medium witte schuimkraag. Het heeft een moutige wat grassige geur. De smaak is moutig, licht hoppig en wat zoetig.

500ml can @ 8% from local store. Eye - darkish gold, foamy white head, nice retention. Aroma - alcohol, malts, sweet glucose syrup, some grain. Combined it almost smells like chemicals used for cleaning. Taste - semi-sweet, glucose syrup, malts, alcohol, slightly fruit hop - wow was not expecting that! Its not too bad at fridge temperature. Palate - full bodied with the glucose syrup to the point of being heavy and sticky. Overall - poor but I've had worse
