Tap (sampled: Heathrow Airport 16.2.04)
Golden with small white head. Aroma softly hoppy and fruity. Mouthfeel is creamy. Flavor malt with hints of hops. Finishes quickly and watery.

Can, drunk in the train from The Hague to Hengelo. Bought in Wijn en Bierboetiek, The Hague. Metallic and grainy. Thin. Hints of orange. There is some distant bitterness, probably not really from Pride of Ringwood hops, but a more nasty bitterness not taken from hops. Nutty. Cardboard. Not good.

Yes, outstanding. Was out with a friend in St Andrews over the weekend and he came down with a pint of this. Corn and nothingness dominate all sence of the drink.

Keg, pasteurised. Pale yellow wth large head. Poor sweet tinny lager, best served cold. Very indifferent.

Bottle at Berliner Bierfestival. Clear, pale golden pour, with a white head. Weak nose, mostly grain and hay, but there’s something alcohol-like there as well. Weak flavor as well, with fruits and some hops, leading to a finish with some hops and bitterness. Thin to medium body. Boring and quaffable. (070804)

Canned: Golden coloured. Clear. Flouffy off white head. Grainy and sweet beer. Very thin bodied. Very shitty lager.

Beer # 6 in my lager marathon. Keg. UK version. No discernible aroma. Soft palate with no obvious hop presence whatsoever. Bland and tasteless. Next up was Sol.
