Nice one.
Pours a clear golden color with an average white head.
The aroma is pleasantly fruity and citrusy and goes well with some hoppy smell.
The taste is sweet at first, followed by nicely balanced, creamy-like and filling body, finishing with decent bittery taste.
Aftertaste is slightly bitter. Very nice surprise.

Had on tap. Mostly clear bronze body with a thin white cap but solid lacing. Euro macro "esters" to the bready yeast and grains lead the nose. Taste has some lemon in there, but mostly mediocre grains and yeast. Feel is sneaky crisp though, light, crushable with good carb for style. Nothing special but a nice lager change up when in UK

Sample from keg at the brewery. Golden colour. Yes, the aroma and flavour have more hops than your average industrial pale lager, but also some unpleasant sidenotes that I find hard to pinpoint - "unfresh" and unpleasant in some way. I just didn’t like it much, and won’t bother to buy it again.

On tap at the Cabbage Patch, Twickenham, London.
Look: The Lager is Clear Yellow with a white head, visible carbonation.
Smell: Slightly Hoppy, along with a Malt, slightly lemony in nature.
Feel: Feels like a proper lager in the mouth, the head is frothy and it doesn't feel as heavy as a beer such as Guinness to drink, quite enjoyable to have on the side while enjoying a night out with friends.
Taste: Slightly malty with again citrus on the side. I would also say it has a rather hoppy flavour.
Overall: A quite enjoyable lager to drink and reasonably priced for the quality of the drink on tap, would reccomend for others looking for a London lager.

On-tap at Fuller's London Pub, Heathrow Terminal 2, London, England
A: The beer is crystal clear light yellow in color and has a moderate amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a quarter finger high dense bright white head that has excellent retention properties and hardly died down, also coating the sides of the glass with a layer of bubbles.
S: Light aromas of grainy and bready malts are present in the nose.
T: The taste follows the smell and has light to moderate flavors of grainy and bready malts. There is a light amount of bitterness.
M: It feels medium-bodied and clean on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer isn't bad for an English lager as it is quite malty and has just enough hops to mask any sweetness and provide a light amount of bitterness.
Serving type: on-tap

L- Darker than yellow, more a very pale amber. Clear, pours with 3mm white head.
S- Light, just some grains.
T- Quite dry, that dry note continues building into some dry hops. Typical lager Taste palate; nothing distinctive or hipster/off-piste here.
F- Quite crisp, refreshing.
O- It comes over as an ok lager, though with no particular distinctive aspects to note. I don't note 'anything wrong' or out of balance. The lable refers to 'Bold, refreshing citrus notes...' but I do not register that at all, ie zero citrus notes for me. In such circumstances I ask my wife to have a sip to let me know what she thinks, without my saying what I thought, or letting her read the lable. In short, she said she got a brief glimpse of fruit on the first sip only, too brief to associate it with any kind of fruit, and no fruit notes thereafter, but otherwise it'd be a refreshing summer beer. For me at this price I haven't found a reason to buy it again.

At the George and Devonshire - Chiswick
Appearance
Full white frothy head that lasts, clear light yellow gold, lots of fizz, clear
Aroma
Clean, sweet, biscuity pilsner malt, low lemony, herbal, citrusy hop
Flavor
Clean, dryish malt and a decent balance of grassy, lemony hops. Bitterness is soft. Has a slight flavor of fresh cucumber (?)
Mouth
Medium, lots of dextrins, ample co2, leaves a sugary and slightly astringent afterfeel
Overall
One of the better mass produced lagers around
