Commercial Description:
Bottle: Pasteurised
A full-bodied lager with lots of malt and hop character. A touch hoppier than many lagers yet perfectly balanced with lots of fruity hop character and fragrance.

I know i hate lagers and i know iv rated probabyl more lagers than anythign else but its all we get here in scotland and i hate the bastards for making so many. But from sam smiths i really expected better. Aroma is harsh to start, then getts a little hoppy but corn has a bit say turning me off. Taste is mainly corn with a bit of grassy hops. Very disapointing.

Bottle (355ml). Poured clear bubbly gold with a decent fizzy-foamy white lasting head.Aroma’s a bit vegetal and pungent, plenty of yeast, quite grainy (rye), bit of metal in there too. Taste is not bad, I can taste fresh barley and even some faint malt and hops (english type). Mouthfeel is average - not harsh, not really anything you’d remember. For a lager - sorry, a premium lager - it’s slightly above average, I guess. Didn’t really care.

550mL bottle. Yellow gold with a small white head. Mellow grainy aroma, some sulfer and sweetness. Mild fruit flavors with a clean malt character and a tinge of butteriness. Some herbal hops in the finish with residual grain. Mouthfeel is medium, smooth and somewhat crisp.

Deep straw/light golden in color with a large solid white head that lasts well past the half pint mark. Aroma of toasted biscuits and earthy hops. Moderately bitter and hoppy with a touch of malt to balance the edges.Finishes dry with some malty sweetness in between.

Light yellow color with small white head. Malty strong aroma. Caramel sweet malt touches the palate and expands into a fruity hop. Not too complex but nice and easy drinking.

Hoppy and malty, but little in the way of extraordinary flavor. Leaves grassy aftertaste in mouth. "Organic" does not necessarily make a tastier beer.

Looks like a regular pale lager when poured into the glass, light golden with a small white head, some laceing as the beer goes down. Again the aroma is average for a good lager, slight grassy hoppiness and some malts. It s rather thin in the flavour department but the well done carbonation makes up for it. It is quite a sweet lager with a tang of perfumy /flowery hopiness, I also get a slight hint of pear flavour for some reason. Overall its quite a nice lager and very drinkable.
