From tap at Bird’s Nest, Greenwich, during their Never Mind the Jubilee funk festival 03.06.22. Pale straw colour. Dense bright white head and lacing. Aroma and taste of pilsner malt, sour citrus, fresh grass and lager beer. Cloying pilsner malt sweetness. Not a pils by all means, but an almost decent Eurolager.

Can from Village Vintners, Pyrford. Aroma is sweet caramelised. A slight haze to the copper gold body. Thick foamy white head. On further inspection it has some flaky looking floaters which is never particularly appealing. Initial impression is bread malts with citrus sweet but sourness that mix for a slightly off result. Underlying resin. Light-medium bodied. Thin. Fizzy carbonation. Long dry finish. Inoffensive but doesn't really have anything going for it other than being sessionable.

330 ml can, from Gulating Ølutsalg, Stavanger. ABV is 4.2%. Sligtly hazy pale golden colour, smalll white head. Moderate aroma of tropical fruits (papaya, mango, guava) which \"disappears\" after a while in the glass, hints of citrus and biscuity malts. The flavour has also citrus and biscuity malts, medium dry. Drinkable and forgettable.
*Dec. 2025: Sampled twice (pint) from keg at The Grand Central, Brighton. Nice fruity and refreshing character. A hint of diacetyl.
