Bottle from the Waitrose on Gloucster Road. Pours gold with a white head. Aroma is mildly spicy, with a touch of grass? Near med body. Flavor is mildly noble, somewhat bready, and finishes lightly bitter. Urquel it’s not, but it will do when the alternatives are tasteless macros.

500 ml. bottle. Jan 09 date. Light grassy aroma. Medium dark gold color with a fine white head. Medium body with creamy carbonation. Rather bready with not all that much hop. Finish is dryish, and a little bitter. Note: I don’t think this is Staropramen Ležák (Premium Lager) 12°. My notes on that don’t match those for this one very well. Course that was another day.

Can from Co-op, Hebden Bridge. Listed under Cains as the brewer when I had this, however as I was recently at their defunct red brick brewery it’s almost certainly brewed elsewhere now. Pale golden with no head. Standard supermarket stuff with a sticky sweetness to its texture.

10th June 2015: sunny bright day here in Shropshire and I have cut my grass, mown the lawn or whatever you like to call it. My reward to myself is a 500ml bottle of Co-Op Wheat Beer, poured into a Franziskaner Weissbier glass. Poured carefully I got the whole bottle in without any drama. Cloudy, dirty orange body, the head a deep and full blanket of white foam. Wheat, yeast and vanilla in the aroma. The taste is also wheat first, again with a yeasty feel, this time with an orange like flavour instead of the vanilla in the nose. Although I am not a huge fan of this style, at the right time (like now) they can be refreshing and very, very pleasant. This is a lot better than I was expecting to be honest, not bad at all.

Dorada muy clara, apenas espuma. Trigo,cebada y 24% de miel. La miel se nota algo (perfume floral) en el aroma y nada en el sabor. Quizas suaviza y endulza, pero no sabe. Final no muy conseguido entre dulce y amargo, no agradable.

Can from Cooperative Supermarket, Hebden Bridge. Golden with next to no head. Not the worst lager malt nose, but has an extremely bland and slightly dry taste.

500ml bottle: BBD 10 Dec 2015, poured into a UK pint sleeve at home on 21 Apr 2015. Really struggled with this. Golden pour with a minimal head showing. Honey esters rule the nose and these carry on into the taste: the honey flavouring dominating the whole experience. Honey beers are not my thing for some reason: I’ve tried a few now and I think this one has had the most pronounced honey flavours (24% is a huge percentage of the ingredients).

Green 500ml bottle, under it’s Co-Op label: BBD Dec 15. Poured at home in Jan 15. It was taken in a blind tasting with a Pivovar Herold brewed beer and a German Memminger brewed one: this came second in the scores behind the Memminger offering. This Pilsner had all the typical attributes of the style: clean, clear and light golden in colour with the usual fading white head. Crisp on the palate but odourless almost, pleasant blend in the mouth, hops lead with a good underbelly of light maltiness the balance out the bitterness and dryness of the hop content: decent.

Green 500ml bottle: BBD 31 Jul 15. Poured at home on 17 Jan 15. Not overly impressed, and beers from Pivovar Herold before and liked them. Looked your normal Pilsner/Lager, golden, light and bright: on top the regular unlasting snow white crown. Aroma was corn syrup sweet and so was the taste with very mild hints of lemon grass. It was taken in a blind tasting with a Staropramen brewed beer and a German Memminger brewed one: this can out the worst score wise. --- Beer merged from original tick of Co-op Premium Lager on 17 Apr 2020 at 15:57 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 4 | Flavor - 5 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 5. Original review text: 440ml can, 4.6% ABV, made in France: BB 8th Apr 2021. Drank at home on 17th Apr 2020, during the virus lock in. Clean and clear light golden body, short lived white head. OK, bog standard Euro fizz with nothing to really talk about, aroma or flavour wise. Refreshing but not much going on.
