After trying over 60 beers in the last three days due to various festivals I thought I would take it easy with this fruity lager this evening! A pale golden brew its exotic notes are best in nose, with a little bit of strawberry and some melon in taste. It's a low-alcohol beer with a good body, doesn't feel thin and is identifiably lager textured.

500ml bottle at Grasmere Tea Gardens, in Grasmere, England. From the bottle. Pours a mostly clear yellow-gold color with a white head and good retention. Great lacing too. Pale malt and light bread aroma. The taste follows the nose: Smooth and clean pale maltar and a nice bready finish. I'm not getting any of the apricot or lime or peach notes that the label mentions, but it's still a very good golden ale. Medium body and medium carbonation. Low bitterness.

Technically there's actually only one lake in the Lake District, so this one is misnamed. Golden colour with a head. Gentle easy enough drinking with a light lager character. Ordinary but a little better than the macro stuff.

As coincidence has it, this blonde coloured ale, with a dry texture is named after the Lake District bus I am waiting for whilst drinking - to take me to Kendal for more beer! -Sweet in both aroma and taste and easily sessionable.

Deadication beer to Australian Rugby League player Ian Moir - he would have felled a few runners in his time, was born on this day in 1932. Traditional blonde ale in colour and flavour with a traditional bottle-conditioned texture and taste. Nice hoppy character without being anything exemplary.

Gold with a white head and an obvious fizz. Sweetish with some lemon sharpness and custard creams behind. Too fizzy for me, and there's something in the flavour that I don't like.
