0.7 So i was wondering if this goes with coca cola like do the flavours work wih each other? Needing an immediate response asap as i am having dinner with my dad this eve x
2.3 Just a bit of head and dark gold body, no visible carbonation. No real aroma, perhaps some soft lager. Flavour is a very soft grain, and a soft crispness on the finish. Perfectly serviceable, if uninteresting.
2.5 Insipid. Weak malty flavour. Slight bitterness. Pours with a small head which disappears within a minute to nothing. Dark gold/copper in colour. Wouldn't buy again even at the £1.25 price tag.
2.7 Bottle. Backlog rating from bottle collection and historic scoring. Source not recorded. No tasting notes kept, just rating.
3.0 50cl bottle @Chelsea, León. 08-06-2015. BBD: 13-06-2015. Batch: L4253A. In short: dull beer. Pours quite clear deep gold with little white head. Short head retention, poor lacing. Citrusy, wet, grassy nose. Light body, soft carbonation, oily texture. Taste is citrusy, some malty sweet and caramel. Sweet aftertaste. A bit boring.
2.3 Golden colour with a small head that fades soon, leaving some lace. Aroma is weak, a bit of malt and a bit of citrus. Nothing special in the palate else, flat and boring. Taste has note of citrus, caramel, cookies. A normal beer that didn’t fill my expectations.
2.8 Botella del @Hipercor. 28/05/2016. BBD: 09/10/16 Color amarillo dorado, sabores maltosos, cuerpo medio.
4.0 From Corte Ingles El Duque. In Ikea’s pint glass. At dinner, with pampean burger. The very definition of drinkability, and with a pleasant taste with the adequate amount of bitterness for not feeling watery
3.3 500ml bottle: Pours a clear golden with a small white head. Fruity aromas. Medium bitterness with a good malt backbone. Some stone fruit as well. Low carbonation and medium light body. Overall an easy drinking ale.
2.8 Golden color, white head, short duration. Aroma is earthy with oxidic hints. Flavor is slightly bittery, earthy notes. Light maltiness with a mild and moderate dry mouthfeel.
3.1 Served in a tulip from a 500ml bottle. Pours clear golden colour with a white head. Aroma is malty with some bread and slight citrus notes. Taste is slightly fruity with very mild lemon and herbal notes. Balanced and smooth with medium carbonation. Easy to drink but nothing special. Can’t beat the original Bombardier!

3.5 Apperance: golden with good white head Aroma: honey and lemon Mouthfeel: medium with medium carbonation Taste: grassy malt, smooth with balanced bitterness Pleasant drinking
3.4 Lovely malted in both the nose and mouth. Mostly dry taste which is dominated by caramel and fine hoppy bitterness to follow. It is very complex and at the same time easy to drink. It would just be a shame to drink it too fast for its nuances make the treat worthy.
3.4 Bottle from the Cromwell Road Sainsburys. Pours dark gold with a white head. Floral/grass aroma. Near med body. Flavor is floral/grass with some very slightly roasty malt. Finishes nicely better.
2.9 Barwa jasna cherbaciana. Piana srednia szybko opada Aromat ciasteczkowy, lekki karmel. W smaku biszkopt delikatna goryczka. Wysycenie srendie
2.5 Golden color with a white head. Mild hoppy, toffee and some lemon in the aroma. medium body and an average carbonation. Tad sweet. Moderate fruity, some metal, caramel, mild lemon and herbal hoppy flavor. Nah not for me. [Bottle from an off license at London Bridge in London, England]
2.9 Bottle. Appearance - golden with a decent head which then quickly disappears. Nose - honey and lemon. Also possible butterscotch. Taste - honeyed cereal. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a finish that could be fresher. Overall - not worth a revisit.
2.2 Clear amber with off-white foamy head and heavy carbonation. Non-descript hoppy nose with some staleness. Watery taste dominated by metal and grass and clawing metallic finish. Very gassy. Reasonable palate. Not impressive. -- rated with beerbasher/winphone

2.7 500ml bottle from local shop. Clear golden colour, frothy white foam head leaving lacing and aroma of malt & caramel with some metallic notes. Taste is malty, toffee, with grassy, slightly metallic hop bitterness. Medium bodied, medium carbonation, dry grassy bitter finish. OK
3.1 Decent hoppy aroma, golden amber with frothy white head. Nice tasting with medium bitter finish. Easy on tongue and mouth - quite a nice modest bitter - easy drinking.
3.7 A very nice, easy drinking beer. Maybe lacking a little complexity. Has a nice balance of biscuity moorishness with hoppy bitterness. The beer is very attractive looking with a great aroma.
2.3 500ml bottle from Tasty Life, Xiamen. Pours golden with a thin white head. Malt aroma with a whiff of hops. Short bitter finish. Not too different to some lagers I’ve had recently.
