500ml bottle from Lidl, one of the O'Fest biers in a pack of 12. Drank at home on 30th November 2024. Decent enough brew, clean and clear golden body, fast fading white crown. Semi-sweet malty front, light hop bitterness, typical of the style really.

Clear golden, not much aroma. Flavour has some hops, a good bit of malt and caramel and not an awful lot else. Pleasant enough but nothing especially memorable.

Golden color, white foam, abundant. Dominant malt, caramel, grass, grain, wet straw. Quite sweet despite herbal accents, slightly oily with medium carbonation. Pleasant and very drinkable.

Bottle from Lidl. Appearance - golden, clear and bright. Big, foamy white head. Nose - lemon, hay and biscuit. Taste - honey, lemon, toast, generally bready and just an edge of caramel. Palate - light to medium bodied, creamy middle and just a touch of drying on the finish. Overall - good stuff!

Bottle from the Lidl Fest box. Pours just-clear golden with a thin white head. Aromas of cereal grains, bready malt, light floral hops. Taste adds caramel. Dry finish.

Bottle. Liggles box. Steamed through em. Clear pale gold. Very sturdy shiny white foam. Nose has pretty sweet biscuit malts. Bit of toffee. Moderate hop aroma. What there is, is grassy and lightly floral. Taste doesn’t necessarily follow suit with a crisp bitterness and some dryness. Toffee sweetness on the lips. Easy going overall. Moderate bitterness to finish. Very decent but not up with the best from the 10 pack.
