250ml bottle, poured into handled Reh Bier glass. Looked promising, golden colour, 1 finger head. Caramel aroma, a bit artificial, no hops content. Tasted metalic, hints of corn, caramel and various ajuncts. Had a coarse edge but wasn't crisp or light, didn't feel great. Overall this is a beer best served cold, to people not really into craft/real ale. Just about drinkable.

A 250ml green stubby bottle with a BB of Jan 2013. Picked up cheap at Morrisons a while back. I believe this is the same beer - although it says 'export' down the side of the label.

Poured into a straight pint glass. A clear golden colour with good carbonation. Forms a small head of white foam that settles after a minute or so. Aroma of light malt with faint hints of caramel and stewed hops. Mild overtones of crisp noble hops.

Tastes of light malt with a dry finish. A flavour of stewed hops with a slightly harsh quality. A restrained dry bitterness upon swallowing. Mouthfeel is light, dry and tingly with a reasonable body for the style. Somewhat astringent, with an aftertaste of bitter stewed hops.

This is a perfectly average mass-produced lager. Nothing special, but I suppose it will quench your thirst when the occasion demands it. Clean and inoffensive, though there's no need to seek it out.
