Old rating from 18-01-16 - 330ml bottle. Pours a clear golden colour with a lasting white head which leaves rings of lacing down the glass. Aromas of sweet malt and a floral fruit. Tastes is both moderately sweet & bitter with sweet malt, hops including orange, caramel & honey. Body is medium, carbonation is on the soft side. This is a very pleasant lager to drink.

Old rating from 26-12-15 - A 330ml bottle poured into a De Struise glass. Amber in colour with carbonation and a white foamy head that disperses. Quite surprises it wasn't a dark colour. Aromas of chololate & sweet malt. Taste is dominated by chocolate and some vanilla, with a golden lager flavour in the background with a mild bitterness. Aftertaste of chocolate. Overall worth a try, but I would avoid a second bottle.

Slight nuttiness, some light slinky hops, and pale malts. Flavor is thin and is dominated by caramel malts, and more nuttiness. Really overall this is thin and bland and I’m pretty disapojnted

Bottle from a local Lidl. Aroma is pale malt with powdery chocolate, vanilla, and notes of marshmallows. Flavour is medium sweet and light bitter. Body is light to medium. I did not expect to enjoy this one, but it kinda works.
