330ml bottle. Opalescent, dark brass colour with average, frothy, slowly diminishing, moderately lacing, white head. Grainy, malty aroma, minimally soapy hoppy and doughy overtones. Taste is mildly bitter, minimally soapy hoppy, minimally grainy and spicy, pale malty basis.
Minimally oily, watery texture, smooth and soft palate, medium, dense, mildly prickly carbonation.
Simple, monotonous, not the tastiest flavours - nothing exciting.

0.33 l bottle. Pours golden color and minimal white head. Some malts, metallic notes, but first of all overwhelming alcoholic sweetness in aroma and taste. Medium sweet finish, light body, but due to the high ABV, it’s not so easy to drink.

0.568 l can. I try to avoid pale lagers as much as I can, but this one was a gift from Scotland, so I did what I had to.

Cooked veggies, loads of corn, sweet almost cloying. I allowed it to warm a bit and it became toally undrinkable. A passable lawnmower college chug if ice cold, otherwise, pass!

Bottle from Silke. Foamy head of modest duration. Aroma has a low level fruitiness with a touch of spice. Taste is bitter, faintly metallic, faintly herbal. Body to the light side of medium, prickly carbonation. Gave me a headache.
