This brew poured a weak transparent yellow orange colored body with a very small head of fine white bubbles. IT has a mild malt-hop aroma and a smooth slightly fizzy bitter start with a lingering hop finish. It also had a weak watery mouth feel to it.

Came to the table a nice golden color, although it had no head and no lacing. Slight malty, wheaty scent, but nothing very much there, either. Good taste, a well balanced blonde, with a slight malt leaning. Goes down well. I recommend trying it, but it's far from my favorite BBC offering.

Poured no head and there was no lacing. There was no carbonation observed. It had a sweet aroma to it. It had a bitter taste and an aftertaste that lingered. This brew was watery and thin. I compared it as an American mass-produced beer; however, it was just a bit better than a Bud.

Serving type: bottle

Arrived at the table with an appropriately summery lemony-straw color. Slightly hazy with a spartan head. Smell is very soft and subtle, with muted grains dominant. Taste is similarly muted, though inoffensive. Soft grainy start and a tart, but not quite crisp, middle. Finish is uneventful--just a slow fade. The light, refreshing mouthfeel is the greatest asset of this beer, which would benefit from a slightly crisper texture and more character in the flavor.
