Canned. A golden beer with a disappearing white head. The aroma is sweet malty with light notes of metal, while the flavor is sweet malty with strong notes of straw, leading to a dry end.

Pours a clear gold with a thick, fizzy head. Aroma of skunk hits you first...not a good omen. Grass, corn and some sweetness round out the aroma. I’m sort of dreading going in for the taste after the huge skunk aroma, but here goes. Slightly sweet and a litle tart. Finishes off with a bit of bitterness. Meh, probably won’t try it again, but It’s not a drain pour either.

Bottled. Clear, almost golden beer with a small white head. The aroma is weak, with just some fruity notes. The flavor is weak as well, with some fruityness, hops, grass and malty hints. Medium body and a hop-fruity finish. Could’ve used a lot more of everything. (070106)

500ml bottle at a Sushi place near Holborn in London. Starts with a huge white head over a clear, straw yellow body. Nice lacing on the glass. Light and fresh mouthfeel. Grainy aroma. Served far too cold to spot any flavour - all with the exception of some sugar sweetness. Did not do any harm to the sushi food (15.09.2006).

Bottle picked up the ’Dodgy Deli’ on the Cowley Rd, Wed 23rd August. Pours a pale yellow colour, tastes bland, just about detect malt and hops if you try hard enough, but quite disappointing really.
