0,5 l bottle from Lidl, Germany. Clear dark copper in the glass, more than one finger pale beige head. Mid malty smell, some citrus tea. Taste starts watery, low malty, more citrus and tea. Some candy in the second row. Getting a little bit dry. Can not convince.

Historical tick which I am adding as a rate so that I can see the impact it has on my stats. 500 Beers To Try Before You Die. Railway Inn, Winchester. It's fine.

Bottle via Lidl, SK. I do not know where the delicious fruitiness went, but it left behing only blunt metallic bitterness and light grainy maltiness with a bit of astringency. Med-thin body, moderate carbonation. Average at best.

Bottle via Lidl, SK. Quite dull and boring. Thin body, watery character. Barely moderate carbonation. Plain malty beer, but even the maltiness is light, rather providing caramelly brownish colour than flavour. Subtle caramelly notes fight for dominance with rusty metal.
