Keg at The Bolter, City of London. Opaque amber. Thick foamy white head. Aroma is resinous and fruity. Light spice. Flava is similar with more chewy malts but also some unattractive sweaty socks element. Light. Thin. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Alright. Not sure it was worth bringing it over the ocean though.

That's better. It's a run of the mill APA but I will take it.

12 oz. can from Total Wine. Pours a semi-clear yellow color with a small white head and decent retention. Almost no lacing. Almost no aroma either. Straightforward light pale lager flavor with some light lemon notes in the finish. No pilsner characteristics. Smooth, clean, and harmless enough for a light anytime lager, but definitely not a pilsner. Light body. Medium carbonation. No bitterness.
