Half while waiting at the station pub for my chauffeur who got stuck in traffic. I'm really not a fan of Mcmullen but this was different. Loads going on for a low abv with lots of bitter chocolate and coffee and a real length of mouthfeel. This is really good.

Cheeky pint in the pub next to the station while waiting for my lift. Looks good in the glass but no flavour or mouthfeel. Nothing. Once again the brewery fails to deliver.

Pint draft at The Nag's Head pub, London, England. Pours a crystal clear gold color with a white head and very good retention. Light pilsner aroma. This tastes more like a sweet lager versus a pilsner. There is a very light pilsner edge to the finish. Otherwise, it's just a nice, sweet lager. Smooth, clean, and slightly sweet. Very easy drinking and very repeatable.Medium body and medium carbonation. Low bitterness.
