Apr 9, 2008 Shep’s bottle. Gold colour. Quite a foxy malt aroma. Taste has some malt, biscuit and a pleasant citric tang. Not very bitter, but it has a bit more character than most pale lagers.

Dec 25, 2007 Appearance: copper color. Golden color. Medium head, white color and not lasting.
Aroma: malty; light herbal touch and some metallic from hops. Slight citric-fruitiness reminiscence like grapefruits.
Flavor: light and ephemeral sweet start from pale malts. Citric touch with reminiscences of peel lemon and grapefruits. Slight dry-hoopyness from hops, some resinous with metallic note and not lasting.
Palate: light body and medium carbonated.
Mediocre, but refreshing for a summer’s day.

Jul 18, 2007 Keg at the Globe Inn, Hythe, Kent. Straw colour with a thin ring of white head, but highly carbonated with big bubbles; a fresh aroma of grassy hops; crisp with sweetish malt flavours balanced by a sharp bitterness, quite prickly mouth feel. In the end the sweetness wins over the bitterness leaving an unsatisfactory finish. It’s hard to place the style, it’s similar to Stella in some ways, and 1664 in others. Not a bad lager, but I would not go out of my way to find it.

Nov 27, 2006 Updated: Mar 12, 2007This is a Shepherd Neame beer, which is always good. It’s pretty nice, not as strong as the reputation that proceeds it: I find it quite refreshing. Yellow amber in colour (like Stella), slightly hoppy - I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a love child of Oranjeboom and Stella actually. What do you reckon?

Jul 14, 2006 33cl bottle. Gold, with thin lasting white head. Actually, some Sheps yeast on the aroma, some citrus fruit of the lemon variety. Malt is plain in the mouth, which is a bit dull, but with nice citrus on the end. Even the yeast makes another appearance on the finish. Hey, nice lager.

Oct 5, 2004 This was the UK draught version, brewed under license by Shepherd Neame. It’s a bit dull, but dry and clean. Not too bad for a UK keg lager. On tap (keg) at the Three Tuns, Faversham.
