<i>Draught at Duke of Argyll, London</i>
Blond color, small head. The temperature doesn’t help the aroma, very light malt. The flavor manages to show a better crispy malt. Bold bitterness. Balanced and robust, even if not thrilling.

Keg Handpump at Ye Olde Boot Inn, Chester 28/03/2006 Hop aroma golden coloured crisp and hoppy with malt flavour. Slightly bitter dry finish.

Draught@Princess Louise, Holborn, London. Pale golden color, small white head. Mild grassy hoppy, cardboard malty nose. Buttery, mildly hoppy German-type pils. Some hops linger in the aftertaste after buttery malty start.

A Mes rate: Tap at the Princess Louise.
Pale gold with a thin white head. Very metallic, slight hops, papery and a nasty finish. Bland and crap.

Tap. Dark golden with little film head. Mildly hoppy aroma. Taste is okay with a little fruit and a touch of bitterness.

Kag as a 4.5 vertion of the taddy lager in the 78. Aroma is biscuity and pale malts, slightly metallic edge. Taste is similar not much goiung on but inoffensive.
