Can from M&S, Sandhurst. Clear light gold. Thick but delicate appearing fluffy foamy white head. Aroma has saline lime over grains and malts. It's the lime that dominates the flavour, over a malty yeasty core. Despite the salt it's just not that crisp, which is what I wanted. The lime is not bitter enough. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation is restrained. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Didn't do much for me. Too sweet.

Bottle from M&S. Clear deep golden body with a white head that holds well. Steady carbonation. Patchy lacing. Aroma of grass and buttery. Flavour of grass, peas and white pepper. Medium body with a slick texture. Soft fizz. This is a really good example of the style. This is much better than previous reviews suggest.

Can that Em gave me (from Marks & Spencer) - cheers Em! Black with a light brown head. Chocolate syrup, light berry notes and some roasted malts. Really enjoyed it at first, but it got a tad sweet and syrupy by the end of the can.

Seems that that German Lager is now German Premium Lager. Fancied a Lager on a hot day and wanted a London tick. Clear copper gold. Thick frothy foamy white head. Aroma has dull citrus, malts and a metallic edge. Flavourwise it's sweet with a citrus streak that adds some if not much bite. Underlying malts. Quite chewy. Light-medium bodied. Slick to oily. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Ultimately Quite bland despite an attempt not to be. Heading towards a Helles, perhaps.

Tight white head left a rocky top on an unclear finely carbonated pale amber coloured body.
Bitter, pithy & well hopped aroma.
Medium bodied, soft on the tongue with lively cloying back.
Pale malt, caramel, marmalade, resin & zesty citrus tastes with a tangy finish.
Well balanced EIPA - Good one from M&S.
