This was a nice lager, pretty much what I expected, based on other reviews. Aroma was slightly doughy, with floral accents. A very nice, clear, straw yellow look to it, low on carbonation, with lots of flavor. Head disappeared quickly. Palate was clean and crisp, with a nice, flavorful finish. A very pleasing brew, with many positive attributes.

Pours a clear pale blonde with a substaintial sticky head. Aroma of malt and slightly fruity. Lightly malty taste with a hint of apple flavor. Well balanced with a light hop taste and bitterness. Crisp clean finish. Normally I am not looking for any fruity aroma or taste in a lager, but it is very subtle and enhances the overall taste. A very nice pale lager that I will drink again.

Golden yellow colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head. Malt and hop aroma. Flavor is straw and malty with some hops in the finish. Ok beer for the style.

Poured from a chilled 500ml bottle into a chilled half pint Samuel Smith lager glass. Appearance: Golden body with a massive fluffy head. Heavily carbonated. Aroma: Clear grassy hops on the nose. Slightly floral, with a lemony kick. Taste: Clean and refreshing hops. Bitter graininess on the palete, with a heavier maltiness in the middle. Mouthfeel: Light, and crisp. Very lively. Smoother than most lagers. Drinkability: Superb! Proof that lager doesn’t have to taste like abrasive fizzy water. There is no hint of the horrendous metallic taste that affects the vast majority "Euro lagers". This is a lager that should be on tap at all pubs instead of the generic macro crap that seem to dominate.

Cask @ The Wenlock Arms London. A clear golden colored beer, with a small white head. The aroma is malty sweet, some citrus. The taste is some bitter with fruity sweets, like citrus. The aftertaste is bittersweet.
