Karmelowe, trochę palone, melanoidynowe, kwiatowe, ciut ziemiste. Barwa miedziana, piana redukuje się do krążka, delikatny lacing. Goryczka zaznaczona, palono-ziemista. Ogólnie typowo słodowe piwo, alkohol niewyczuwalny. Ogólnie jest ok.

Delikatnie tropikalne, ale głównie lodygowo - ziemiste z zaznaczonym mocno karmelem. Barwa złota, przejrzyste, piana redukuje się do niskiej, znikomy lacing. Goryczka zaznaczona, ziołowo-łodygowo-ziemista. Jak dla mnie bardzo mocny oldschool w wykonaniu brytyjskiej IPA, trochę za słodkie.

Słodkie, zbożowe z apteczną, ziołową goryczką. Barwa złota, ładna i trwała piana, ślicznie zdobi szkło. Goryczka zaznaczona, długa, męcząca. Zdecydowanie za słodkie.

330ml can from Beers of Europe. Clear light gold, small foamy head, lots of carbonation showing, scattering of retention. Aroma has that typical mass produced lager malt, a bit like wet cardboard and stewed veg. There is however a nice and grass and lemon note coming from the hops suggesting this isn't going to be a write off. Taste is semi sweet, cardboard, corn, citrus, modest grassy bitterness in the finish. Not watery but does have a light syrupy element to the mouthfeel so loses an element of the refreshing quality of a pale lager. Average.
