330ml bottle from U&I - Clear amber gold body, little ring of white foam. Grainy fragrance, little bit of malt. Pretty sweet up front, odd bitterness at the finish. Finish is like chewing grass. Meh.

Ordered from U&I Drinks. Aroma is grainy and malty with a slight sour edge. Light amber gold. Clear. Foamy white head. Light-medium bitter. Grainy. Metallic. Underlying sweet malts. These gain some tractionas I drink more. Light bodied. Thin but slick. Flat-Average-fizzy carbonation. Long dry finish. Not great but not completely saccharine so preferable to other Pale Lagers.

330ml bottle [courtesy of Grumbo, thanks a lot!]. Clear, orange, dark golden colour with average, frothy to creamy, fairly lasting and lacing, white head. Grainy and strawy, slightly bready, pale malty aroma, hints of wet straw, some malty spiciness, whiffs of silage. Taste is grainy, pale malty, subtle sweetness, a touch of corn, bitter hoppy overtones. Minimally oily, watery texture, smooth and soft, minimally dry palate, medium to fine, mildly prickly carbonation. Rather clean, fairly refreshing - OK.
