From the bottle. Gold with a thin, white head. Aroma is grass, boiled rice, plastics. Taste is grassy bitter from start to end. Hints of Schnapps. Body stays relatively light with moderate carbonation. A beer better shared—the more people the merrier.

Bottle from Pho, Leicester. Golden and clear with little head or visible carbonation. Light aroma but there's a touch of caramelly malts., toast and roasted corn. Sweetish taste with a touch of balancing bitterness. Heavily carbonated. Wow, a lager that tastes... pretty good.

At a tasting, thanks, small bubbly head, clear darkish yellow color, aroma of plastic and candy with a hint of sewer, flavor of paper, heavy and not pleasant, leaving an unpleasant sensation in your mouth. Really bad.
