Bottle, 5.1%. Mild bready aroma. Clear golden colour. Sparkling. Small stable white head. The flavour starts off bready. Has a medium bitterness, not unpleasant. Hint of metal in the finish, otherwise quite clean. Good mouthfeel for the style. Better than expected.

From old tasting notes. Medium gold color. Bubbly white head. Strange medicinal aroma. Bittersweet hop flavor dominates the palate. Interesting dry bitter character in finish. Long bitter aftertaste.

Bottle from the Caribbean shop on Wood Street in Huddersfield town centre. Golden-amber with a thin head. Regular lager, but easy enough drinking for its style.

Pours clear blonde, small white head. Smell is sweet, bitter touch. Taste is sharp, intense, rather bitter, grains, of course it’s chemical, but it’s not bad in fact ( it’s drinkable, unlike their ’star’ beer ) as a lager, i’d call this mediocer, which is not bad for a country tick.

Pours clear blonde, small white head. Smell is sweet, chemical, cornsyrup. Taste is chemical, crispy ’ dry malts’ illusion. very sweet, even more towards the ending. Pretty poor quality lager, even for the style, even as a country tick.

Bottle courtesy of Deanso. Poured a crystal clear straw colour with a bubbly white head. The aroma is dry mineral aspirin. The flavour is light bitter with a watery light hop bitter palate. Light bodied with average carbonation.
