Oct 25, 2007 I believe this must have been retired by now? Anyway, as of 2005, was acceptable, but over-metallic and acidic. A good strong beer for those who woul like to feel the effects, though. Drinkable in quantity.

Dec 9, 2005 The best darn lager in the world - sadly being phased out by Sam Smiths. 5 pints of it has the effect of 8 pints of Stella, with an acid tab dropped in the first pint. Have loved it for approximately 12 years. Amazing birthday drink. Will be missed.

Aug 17, 2005 Draught at Earl of Lonsdale, London. Golden coloured. A rather good fresh and fruity pilsener.

Feb 19, 2005 Light dusty lager nose, straw color, low tight head. Clean crisp malt with a hint of citrus. Round corners. An average German-style pils that holds its own. Still, nothing special here.

Dec 24, 2004 Decent enough pale gold colour and relatively strong for a British brewed lager, but that’s where the complements end. There’s a hint of malt in the aroma but, otherwise it all comes over as artificial, chemical and metallic. Dull mouthfeel. Drinkable, but not good. Not the worst I’ve had either. Keg at the Brewery Tap (the old Courage brewery tap, now run by Sam Smiths), Southwark.

Dec 12, 2004 Metallic aroma. Gold with white head. Bland sweet flavour. Thin bodied. Blergh.

Dec 10, 2004 Keg at the "World’s Funniest Pub", The Anchor Tap, Tower Bridge, London..
Odd attempt at a lager, not at all authentic. Flat & barely malty.
Sampled on the Ratebeer London Meetup & Pub Crawl, December 2004. With Silktork, Chris_o, & Kook.
