Anyway aroma, mmm a bit sweet with some maltyness going on, good start, as this warms grassy hops kick in too. Taste is also reasonably sweet with a dry finish, not to dry though, remarcably exceptable lager we have here that seems to be everywhere. Plesent suprise. iammarc (193), Inverness, Scotland

A student favourite for me, whilst I was in Glasgow. Cheap in value, tastes reasonably good from a can. dirtyc (173), Erie, Pennsylvania, USA

Pale straw colour with a thin white head, and heavy carbonation; malty aroma; slightly sour and bitter taste (reminds me of Grolsch); with an unusually salty finish.

Nothing much more to say about it really other than it’s Shepherd Neame brewed so merits some respect. It doesn’t taste of orange though despite the name! Joeh (1908), Buckinghamshire, England

This is the UK draught version as brewed at Shepherd Neame. Very pale, fizzy, white head. Typical lager aroma - grassy. Flavour is grass, hay, some malt and grain. Not very good, bland - but not really unpleasent. Sampled on the Ratebeer London Meetup & Pub Crawl, December 2004. With Silktork, Chris_o & Maeib. SilkTork (4184), Rochester, Kent, England

Crisp, hoppy aroma. Crisp, passion fruit burst in the middle; slight chemical finish. I was surprised at how pleasant this tasted. London Xmas Crawl. [2.5]
Oct, 2005. Keg, White Hart, Cuxton - a Shep’s pub. Side by side with Hurliman this came off very badly. There was a lack of distinct flavour. The malt was murky and the hops were a vague nonsense. [1.9] downender (2629), Bristol, Gloucestershire, England
