Sampled from 0.5 l bottle from ’Rudat’, best before April 2018. Clear, golden yellow with a thin, foamy, stable, white head. Sweetish, slightly grassy aroma of grains and hints of straw. Sweetish, slightly bitter, moderately grassy-spicy taste of grains and some straw, followed by a short, slightly bitter, moderately grassy-spicy, a bit dry finish. Almost medium-bodied, smooth and slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Easily drinkable but not really ’premium’, what do I have to expect from the standard version now?

0.5l bottle. Pale yellow body with a white head. Bread and hay dominates its character with notes of grains, floral hops and a bit of cardboard. Plain beer, but drinkable.

On-tap pint in The Bradford Arms Hotel, Llanymynech, just inside Shropshire. Nowhere near as good as I hoped, watery and weak. Looked fine, golden, clean, clear and bright with a decent white crown on top. Just boring really, moved onto bottles of Warsteiner which were a whole lot better.

Bottle. Dark yellow with a decent head, not much in terms of lacing. Aroma is noble hops and grains. Taste is grassy, grainy, earthy, a little bit spicy and nicely hoppy in the aftertaste. Strong carbonation. Crisp, clean and goes down really well.
