Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

Bottle. Pours a straw like pale yellow color, with a big fizzy white head. Aroma is of grains, malt and some floral hops. Flavour is of grains, biscuity malts, grassy and citric hops (no floral ones though). Body is meduim with a slightly wastery mouthfeel, and a very lively carbonation. Overall an above average lager!
Bottle. Pours a pale yellow golden with a small frothy white head that quickly diminishes to nothing. The aroma is sweet corn malt with honey and wheat. Thin mouthfeel with a crisp fruity malt with citrus. Easy to drink a decent pale lager from Samuel Smith
Pours a very pale blone. almost zero head, but carbonated nicely. Aromas of a slight touch of malt and almost corn. A sparkly attack which mellows to a grain to corn flavor. Finishes slightly dry.
