Bright clear gold beer, small white head. Palate is light, semi dry and crispy. Light clean pale malts. Light lager character. Mild floralness and very mild citrus. Mild paper before a light semi dry finish. Just about passes muster.

Bottle from Waitrose, Stevenage. Straw-yellow with a very thin head. Has a skunky lager malt aroma, but not as bad in taste, however there’s nothing much to shout about here. No carbonation as it’s a lager styled ale.

Bottle. As Norfolk Square Dark Lager. Baker and Larners of Holt, Norfolk. Clear, chestnut brown. Film of sticky, tan head. Looks pretty good. Light nutty malts. Brown sugar. Light fruit. Taste is light dry. Light sweet. Decent body. Easy drinking. Finishes sugary sweet. Dry close. Liked this, despite drinking it 6 months after its BBE!

Bottle from Cambridge Wine Merchants, consumed at home. Second beer in my new digs in Ely. Pours light brown, almost copper/Amber. Thin tan head. Light aroma: chocolate, caramel, cereal. Slightly musty. Taste is a delicate malty sweet, pleasant if not complex. Short to medium finish was a flash of caramel malt in the aftertaste. Nice enough.

Cask-conditioned on gravity at Swindon Beer Festival, 23/10/2014. Deep gold in colour. A malty bitter, with a touch of fruits and hint of hop in the finish. Ok.

Bottle from Waitrose, Stevenage. Yellow-blonde with a thin head. Floral, but not so pleasant nose with a better lager-malt taste with an ale texture.

Bottle from the Suffolk Food Hall, Ipswich. Attractive deep copper with a moderate cream head and a middling fizz. Sweet Horlicks maltiness up front with some chocolate too. Buttered diacetyl on toast to follow which may put some off but I rather like it in the right place- and it suits this beer. There’s a slightly off sour note in the finish but in general I quite enjoyed this.

Keg at the White Hart, Otley, Suffolk. Gleaming gold in hue with a small white head and a light fizz. Grassy up front with peachy notes coming through. For a lager this is pretty decent; the only downside is the mouthfeel, which is chalky and almost powdery. However, not bad, quite refreshing and very drinkable.
