330ml bottle from Tesco! Clear, golden, fizzy white head that bubbled away instantly (but the beer retained some fizz so not a bad thing) Slightly metallic nose, virtually no taste other than an odd fruity aftertaste. Wouldn’t hunt it out, but would happily drink this on a sunny beach

It’s no worse than many bottled lagers, to be honest. It’s a touch sweeter than I’d like and there’s a slightly odd backtaste that I can’t quite place. I suspect after a few it may start to get a bit sickly but it’s alright.

Bottled 330ml. -from Rudat Dortmund. Clear yellow coloured, medium sized airy white head that went away fast, corn in the nose. Sweetish malty, corn, light cardboard and notes of grain with notes of corn syrup in the finish. Typical Caribbean lager but new country counts.

Bottle, trade with CH-303 - thank you, Asbjørn! Pours clear pale straw with airy white head. Clear but rather weak aroma of hops and yeats, with notes of malt. Sweetish flavour of yeast and malt, with bitter, hoppy notes. Bitterish aftertaste with citric and paperlike notes. Well, possibly nice and refreshing on a neach in Barbados but otherwise just a pale lager. Still, a rare country tick.
