Nov 6, 2009 Bottle, Sainsbos, Upton. Expectations were pretty low for this effort, and had it put to one side to drain down alongside a curry. Lagery looks. Slightly malty aroma with some trace hop. Dryish finish. As far as a cold guzzler goes I suppose it ain’t bad. In the lagery scheme of things its probably above average and you could do a lot lot worse in the genre.

Nov 5, 2009 Cask in the Market Porter. Alround rating: Pale buttery malt, loads of diactyl, grassy lightly peppery hop. Far too buttery.

Oct 15, 2009 4.7% bottle. Clear, relatively fizzy golden yellow with an initial one finger head that mostly dissipated. Vegetable, corn, herb & citric lemon aromas with some floral notes. Citrus tones in the flavour with some nuttiness and grain. Light, crisp bitterness with a grainy aftertaste. Light in body with medium carbonation.

Oct 14, 2009 Bottle. Golden beer with a quickly disappearing strong head. The aroma is malty and sweet, and the flavour is very malty and dry. Overall an average beer, too malty really.

Oct 4, 2009 Bottle from Sainsbury’s. Pale yellow with slight haze and poor head retention. Sweet lager malt with a touch of diacetyl. Crying out for more hops. Poor.
MesandSim (5790), London, Greater London, England
Sep 26, 2009 A Mes rate. Bottle from Shamansburys.
Clean gold with a faint white film. Diacetyl and some faint astringent hoppage on the nose. Diacetyl is a little less obvious in the flavour but it is still there. Nice hops, excellent bottle conditioning as always from this brewery but it’s not enough to save it. Vanilla finish with some late bitterness. Not the best beer they make for sure.

Sep 25, 2009 Bottle from Sainsburys, wasn’t expecting much but it was pretty tasty. Pale gold with a white head. Malts, little fruitiness, small hoppage, touch of sweet vanilla, some citrus. Nice for a pale lager.
imdownthepub (5087), Banbury, Oxfordshire, England
Sep 24, 2009 Bottled, 500ml, from Sainsburys, Banbury. Pale gold with white head. The aroma feels right, a slightly farmy mashed malt, the taste is thinnish, a touch sweet malty, grainy with just a hint of hops, lager done in Scottish style, careful with the ingredients. The finish is reasonably citric. Certainly not the worst Pale Lager available and has some positive points.
