[33cl can from Lidl, Crowthorne.] A bright amber pour with a loose white head; malty aroma with a touch of wine must; crisp malty taste with a little citrus and some bitter herbs; then some sharp grapefruit to finish.

Can from Lidl, High Wycombe. Attractive deep gold colour with a lasting white head. Looks quite fizzy visually, but in the mouth it's actually nice and smooth with a pleasingly gentle fizz. The taste is harshly bitter from the off. There's some flavour behind the bitterness - maybe pepper, caramel and some green fruit like gooseberry or kiwi - but it's difficult to grasp it because the bitterness just over-rides everything. Very disappointing - seems they've ruined some of my favourite hops here by using them for bittering rather than aroma. To summarise - nice looks and mouthfeel, but everything else is terrible.

Can from Lidl Supermarket, Salford. Golden with a small head. Feels more like a lager in the palate than a pale ale, certainly in terms of texture and taste, and aroma too. Quite a hoppy brew there are pale ale element to be found.

Pale blond colour with thin head. Pleasant fruity notes at first. Solid bitterness. Easy to drink. Refreshing.

330ml can from Lidl. Clear gold in colour, with a tight, white, head and slight carbonation. Sweetish malty aroma, with a touch of fruit. Flavour was muted, with crisp malts, a peppery edge, ripe fruits. Finish was rather dryish. So so.

0,33 flaske fra Amathus, på min favorittbenk i solskinnet på Crouch End: klar lys gylden, ok skum. Citrus, brød, urter og oppvaskmiddel. Men et nytt bryggeri er et nytt bryggeri osv...

Fra fat på legendariske Hole In the Wall (her har lite og ingenting blitt forandret siden jeg frekventerte denne midt på 80-tallet, til og med røyklukta sitter igjen!), med Egil: klar gylden med fint skum som varer. Kraftig furunål, hvit pepper, noen grønne druer og brennenesle, men mest pepper. Ubalansert. Maltsmaken er svært tilbaketrukket, nærmest blyg.
