Bottle, courtesy of an InBev sales rep. Gold, thin shortlived white head and gentle condition. Brief, slightly peaty nose, quite dry and vaguely oily in the mouth with a whisper of woodiness, short vanilla note in the finish. Hardly worth the effort.

Jul 15, 2008 On tap at Ye Grapes, London. Gold body, no heat. Malty nose. Some caramel in the taste, otherwise eggy. Watery and not much to it. Dissapointment.

Jun 7, 2008 Bottle. Pretty bad really. Crappy lager base and some oakyness i guess. Pretty sure this won’t last long on the market. Couldn’t really see the point. Boring?

May 23, 2008 Tap at The Dovetail in London. Light orange amber color with a white head. Grassy aroma. Near medium body with mild carbonation. Seems to thin a bit as carbonation leaves. Flavor is lightly fruity and the wood is very subtle. A lager that could pass for an English ale.

May 2, 2008 Light, dry yet with a sweet flavour. Hints of vanilla icecream and lager hops. It’s OK - it’s drinkable - it’s the marketing buzz of the moment - from oak aged imperial stout to oak aged pale lager - everyone is getting in on the act. Fizzy.
