330ml can; BB 26th Jul 2020. Poured into an old DAB Meister-Pils glass at home just after midnight, early on 1st Oct 2019. Clear light golden body, full head that soon became a white wisp and collar. Mild fruity aroma and taste, neither hoppy nor malty, neither sweet nor bitter. Refreshing enough and fine overall. More flavour than most lager/pilseners.

Bottlw from the Last Plantagenet (JDW), Leicester. Light gold, clear and fizzy with a substantial white head. Aroma is light, with some sweet spice and light hop character to the fore. Taste is sweet, slightly spicy from the yeast, with gentle hops in the background. Finish is more bitter and hop-led with astringency in the finish. Nicely carbonated. Not particularly engaging, but a good enough drink.
