Aroma of malt, fruit, apples, caramel, toffee, some spiciness. Flavour is malty caramel, fairly sweet, with a light bittersweet finish. Acceptable, but too sweet and too little character.

Fruity aroma of lemon and eh... lemon. Otherwise watery. Flavour is more lemon, light sweet. Drinkable and refreshing, but doesn’t amount to much.

Aroma of pale malt, grain, some sweet fruits, some hop. Flavour is moderate malty sweetness with a moderate bitter finish. I enjoy the bitterness, but otherwise this is not a very memorable beer.
