500 ml bottle. Clear golden with white head. Smell is slightly malty. Taste is light malt and a little bitterness. Low bitterness, high carbonation and watery.
Pale gold with white head. Aroma is grain and dry grass. Light bitter taste with no unpleasant after tastes. Crisp on the palate. Refreshing when cold
Bottle - pours pale golden with a rocky white head with fair retention and thin lacing. Aroma of malts and fruit with some alcohol and roasted malt permeating through later on in the drink - which is strange for a 4% beer. Taste is fruity, sweet and malty with a lingering sweet malt finish. Light bitterness, a bit watery and super sweet. Very thin body, light carbonation.
Bottle from Bierbox: Aroma of corn and malt, light grassy notes. Pale golden color, white head. Flavor is also sweetish, corny, grainy, few bitterness.
Pours a clear golden color and is topped with an avergae white head. The retentions is pretty solid.
The aroma is very mild, just some malts and perhaps a little grains.
The taste starts light and neutral. The balanced body is followed by a very enjoyable bitterness. No unpleasant metal feeling in the aftertaste is very nice.
Drinkable, refreshing and very enjoyable. Slightly surprised.
500ml bottle. Golden amber colour, lively white foam head leaving alittle lacing and aroma of malt, corn grain, yeast. Taste is similar, sweetish malty with grain and corn. Watery, light bodied, medium carbonation, lightly bitter grainy earthy finish. OK cold.
500ml bottle from Rhythm and Booze, Sharrowvale - Yellow. Flat. Nose is corn, the raw stuff on veg stalls. Taste is a sweet indescribable watery thing. Did I mention it was flat? It was 89p, cheap and worth the risk, I saw it 30 minutes later in Tesco for £2.49 a bottle. It would be madness to waste that amount on it.
Light light yellow, white head. Sour,mildly skunky dry hay in the aroma. malt, mildly skunky, hay in the really mild taste. Light aftertaste. High in carbon.
Bottle @ Chriso’s Pre-GBBF Shindig. The pour’s gold with a small head. The nose is pretty papery indeed. Not much else going on. The taste is knackered grain, some pear, apple juice. Refined sugar. Light body, soft carbonation. Overall, poor.
Bottle rhythm and booze. Pale yellow colour little head and lacing. Aroma is weak. Taste is pale sweet malts and grain. Medium body and carbonation. Ok for larger.
Goldgelbes Bier mit wenig Schaum. Geruch malzig, metallisch. Geschmack wässrig malzig, minimal herb, muffig.
Bottle found in Rhythm & Booze, Huddersfield Lager with a urine quality for colour - not a lot of carbonation, flavour or character.
Bottle. A very pale peachy yellow with a decent bubbly white head. Nose is quite full cereal and a slight breadiness. More cereal and sugaryness in the mouth. Good carbonation, and a fresh mouthfeel makes this a surprisingly decent lager. Still a lager, so not all that exciting. But decent.
light sweet malty aroma,pale, clear, white foam, light sweetness, lightly bitter, light body, thin feel, flat, dry finish.
Pale yellow and clear. Has a sharp hoppy aroma. Flavor starts faint sweet, finish moderate bitter. Dry, watery texture.

Bottle. Frothy white fair mostly deminishing head. Light malty and hoppy aroma. Light bitter flavor. Short light bitter finish. watery palate. Deasent.
Bottle. Small head with short duration. Color is pale yellow. Aroma and taste are bread, malt, water and hops. Boring.
Bottle bought from R&B. Clear with very frothy head. Really bland watery taste.
Bottle from Rythmn and Booze. The first beer I’ve rated on here just for the tick! Clear and pale. White head. Aroma of old elastic bands. Some grassy, sweet malt. Taste is reasonably fresh and dry. Palate and aftertaste is awful, though. Like a thin broth made with iron filings.
Bottle shared thanks to Jmgreenuk. Pours pale golden with a white head. Aroma of grain, damp malt and not much else. Flavour is light sweet and bitter. Light bodied with soft carbonation.
Poured a crystal clear light amber with a thin white head. The aroma is weak malt. The flavour is weak bitter. Weak bodied with a watery malt palate and no finish at all. I feel sorry for Ugandans!
50cl bottle courtesy of and shared with Jmgreenuk.
Thin white head. Clear golden pour. A bland lager but a country tick.
Bottle from Rhythm & Booze, Ripon. Nothing much to note about this lager. A bit sweet, possibly rice flavours. Bland.
Bottle at chriso’s Pre-GBBF Shindig 2013 - London. Pours clear yellow with a light, white foam head. Pretty crap stuff, really. Lots of papery cereal makes up the character. Fairly sweet, mostly bland. Light bodied with average carbonation. Sugary cereal malt finish. Uganda.
Bottle provided by Sarkynortherner; straw yellow pour with tiny white head, aroma is skunky, taste is grassy malty and embarrassing but a country tick.
Bought at Tesco’s Cheetham Hill. Nose is slight honey. Appearance is insipid. Taste is very, very light slight malt, light corn, slight dry finish. It’s probably designed to be drunk very cold somewhere very hot, this does not apply to Manchester in September.
Bottle at Chisso’s pre-GBBF shindig. Thanks to Leighton for the Uganda tick. Clear golden yellow colour with a thin white head. Aroma is pappery stale malt. Slight earthy hop. Generally unpleasant.
Bottle. Pours a large white head. Gold body. Nose is corn, lager malt, fruit and adjuncts. Grass and maybe some lemon. Ryvita rye biscuit. Popcorn, hops, dust. Bitter. Some sugar detected. Finish is melting plastic. Dry mouthfeel at the end. Presumably very refreshing in the heat of Uganda.
