24.03.2012. Brewed in the UK. Piwo chłodne na gorące dni, słodowy posmak, goryczka lekko wyczuwalna, ale w przełyku pozostaje kukurydziany smak słodu. Pienistość obfita lecz krótkotrwała

Bottle. Nice wide mouth opening. "Dip Hop" is apparently a kind of dry hopping. Certainly smells like it. Nicely hopped aroma, good citrus and grass nose, light bready malt. Pretty nice. Deep, clear gold with a tall foamy head. Nicely hopped beer, highly attenutated, but nice bready malts. Good hop flavor and huge bitterness for a major. Really nice. For a major. Light body, but full, great hops. Wow. Respectable shit!

Bottle poured into a shaker. Pours a clear gold with white head. Aroma of corn, grains and skunk. Taste is about the same. Light bodied with a thin texture. Fizzy carbonation and not much of a finish. Overall, another crap pale lager.

Medium white head. Clear yellow body. Coarse grainy aroma with cardboard notes. Dry cardboard and malt taste with mealy notes. Mid-bodied. Slightly grainy mouthfeel. Dryish papery grainy aftertaste with slight acidity. Not really very nice. (0.35l can, from JR Takashimaya, Nagoya station.)

My 330ml bottle was brewed under licence by Wells and Youngs of Bedford, England: best before 8 July 2012 it was poured (twice) into a ’Veltins’ badged pilsner stemmed tulip on 14 Feb 2012. Looks like a regular lager: golden, clear and bright, mid depth of goldness. The head a mass of white bubbles, then fading to a wispy covering and a collar. Slight hop aroma, some hints of cereals maybe as well. Crisp, dry and boring were my first three thoughts as the beer entered my mouth. Strangely for a lager as the mouth began to dry after each sip the palate seemed to get sweeter instead of the normal slightly bitter, sometimes metallic hit. I suspect my beer (brewed in the UK) tastes very different to the US version. So my review will not be a lot of good to most users, but hey ho, it might interest one or two who read it.
