Flaske på Shamrock Inn, København: fruktig og litt blomsteraktig aroma. Inntrykket av nyslått gress gjør seg mer og mer gjeldende. Gardinskum. Middels fylde og typeriktig uten å skille seg ut. Tørr slutt.

Keg at York Tap. Clear gold, thin white head, high carbonation. Aromas of corn, butterscotch, and honey. Taste has an astringent quality, and is borderline unpleasant. Did not enjoy this.

Reddish caramel, clear, thin white head, slight lacing
Aroma of light caramel, slightly fruity
Taste of caramel, brown bitter malts, dab of twiggy English hop, touch fruity
Palate - medium carb, bit fizzy, light body. Finish - soft mineraly, slight hedgerow fruits, bit metallic, tail has some twiggy hop
Overall - More like an English brown bitter and not a particularly good one tbh

Light golden, clear, thick bubbly head, typical lager
Aroma of sweet soft pale malts, touch of honey, butter biscuit (yes - I got this before looking at the review below(!)), grainsm slight hint of hops
Taste - Soft sweet light pale malts, some butter biscuit, soft grassy hop, slight spicy hop
Palate - Moderate carb, light body, quite oily. Fairly sweet, dab of bitter spicy lager hop. Finish as main flavour, little dry, slight metallic bitter finish, getting a slightly odd plasticy note which I’m not sure
Overall - Not a fan of lagers. This is better than usual macro lagers, but not sure I’ll return to this again, bit of buttery sweet note off this but reasonably drinkable
