650ml bottle from my local Londis. A pale amber pour with a fast fading white head; little in the way of aroma; corn syrup taste; with a slight grassy bitterness. Pilsner in name only.

From the bottle. Virtually black with a frothy, tan head. Aroma is full of toast but very little beyond that. Taste is bittersweet with a bit of cigarette smoke and lactose sweetness lingering on the tongue afterwards. Body is smooth, mild carbonation, medium. Overall, not bad.

Bottle from Cooperative Supermarket, Hebden Bridge. Black with a thin off-white head. Smoothish with a mid nutty roasted malt aroma, with a lot less of the nuttiness in taste.

330ml can from Morrison's; BBD 20th Jan 19. Poured into a chalice at home on 1st June 18, the first beer in a mini tasting session with myself. Clear and clean amber body, off-white pillow of foam on top. Citrus hop notes in both the nose and taste, refreshing and fairly crisp in the mouth. Happy to drink the remaining three from the four-pack, didn't expect to say that when I bought it!

330ml can. Clear amber beer with a foamy white head. Aroma is light citrus and some caramel malt. Flavour broadly the same. Not as hoppy as I'd expected but ok

330ml bottle at home. Pours a crystal yellow, rocky white head. Aroma of hay and digestive biscuits. Thin watery mouthfeel, taste of honey, hay. Typical pilsner, refreshing after mowing the lawn.

Decent session able beer. Not as hoppy as I hoped. More caramel malty with some citric and fruity notes. Also some horrible cup final memories.
