Slightly confused. The keg version is a refreshing, thinly headed sweet malty lager bearing little resemblance to its German namesake. The 4.7% bottle I have in my hand has an unappealingly rusty nose, but pours with a well-retained snowy white head and has a slightly smoky malty graininess that is not at all unpleasant. If your (generic UK draught lager) options are limited at the bar, you could do much worse.

Quite good, fairly nice for a lager. Light amber in colour and fairly carbonated. In the same mould as Artois, but more refreshing. Probably in my top 510 beers of all time!

Keg at the Kings Head, Hythe. A fairly basic lager; gold with a white head and light carbonation; rather sour aroma; fruity and creamy in the mouth, but quite acidic; and a predominantly acidic finish.

Canned. Golden with a large foam. Aromas are corn, grain and almost green apple with some vanilla and corn. Flavours are gritty grain with fatty butter and light citrus. Quite dry on the finish.
