Can from Village Vintners, Pyrford. Aroma has grains, malts. A biscuity element and metallic edge. Clear dark gold. Thin frothy translucent white head. Light-medium bitter with a citrus-metallic sour edge. After a short period, somewhat saccharine sweetness appears and shoves its way to the front. Light bodied. Slick. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Had worse.

Keg at the Greyfriar, Reading. Very happy to discover a new region rate, but surprised to discover it in the form of a macro lager in a craft beer joint. To be fair, when I ordered it the landlady took pains to warn me it was made by Heineken, to apologise for stocking it, to say she hadn't been aware it was a Heineken brew when she ordered it, and was I sure I wanted it. I almost felt bad for purchasing it! Anyway, it's a clear yellow-gold with a lasting white head. It's buttery, a little watery, and with some mild grassy hop. It's inoffensive, but bland and utterly forgettable swill. I'd agree with the landlady's assessment that it's not great, but it's not as bad as some macro brews.

Brazil…my favorite to win at all this year. It didn’t pan out that way, and while the team looked fantastic throughout, Croatia just managed to outdo them.

Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.
