Poured from 473mL can. Very dark brown with light beige head. Gentle roast, slightly fruity, not a ton of body, average.

Poured from 473mL can. Clear blonde gold with white head. Malty cracker malt, herbal and grass hops. No date stamp so maybe this is old, but not a very good rendition of the style. Meh.

On tap at Swans Pub, pours a clear copper / amber with a small beige head. Aroma is full of deep oak notes, a touch of butterscotch, and bready notes — that oak is really nice. Flavour is rich and complex, with a wonderfully deep oak character—almost like a fine, old scotch without the alcohol burn—with toasted caramel and bready malt. That oak character is beautiful. This is seriously impressive.

On tap at Swans Pub, pours a clear copper with a small beige head. Aroma brings out a nice crisp, grassy, piney hop character and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is correctly structured, with crisp piney hops, crisp biscuity malt, and a touch of citrus. Very coherent hopping, with good balance. Very good.

On tap at Swans Pub, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out a touch of oak, crisp biscuity malt and straw. Flavour is similar, with crisp biscuity malt, a hint of oak, and biscuity malt. Pleasantly assertive carbonation, with a crisp finish. Not as good as the Czech Pilsner, but it's pretty solid.
