Hazy amber, thick white head. Smells hoppy with a little fruit. Flavour follows suit. Hops, a little citrus, a bit of dry malt. Not spectacular but decent.

A fairly bland lager, to be honest. Tastes of very little,a hint of light malt but not much else. The one I had is quite flat as well and there's a bit of a sickly sweet aftertaste as you go through it. Not great.
