Golden beer with a crisp palate. Start off somewhat lagerish but then goes in to a mildly hoppy finish. A little dry.

Warning! Early amateur rating! Bland beer - watery and without much depth of flavour. An anti IPA? Offensively bland.

Warning! Early amateur rating! Well flavoured lager. Very moderate carbonation so would indeed be good with some nosebag. No bitterness. Decent lager.

Cask handpull at Betjamen Arms, St Pancras station. Darkish brown, thin beige head. Some GK yeast over an ok if underwhelming bitter. Some bitterness on finish. It’s ok-ish. GK yeast runs through it. I mean it is a bitter so ticks those boxes. Not unpleasant.
