Had on tap. Mostly clear yellow body, two fingers of white foam. Grassy hops, floral yeast, lemon and lager malts in nose. Taste adds crusty white bread. Maybe it is being in england with so many meh lagers, but this was pleasing! Feel is light and somewhat pale, carbonation makes it a little airy on the finish before the hops kick in. The wife liked it

Keg halfpint at the Chandos, London. Pale golden colour, white head. Aroma of grassy and herbal hops, some pilsener malts too. "Clean" pilsener flavour with a decent balance between the malts and hops. Very good for a 4% lager.

S: Light aromas of pale malts are present in the nose.
T: The taste has flavors of pale and pilsener malts with a light amount of bitterness.
M: It feels medium-bodied and very clean on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer is very clean and easy to drink.

Golden color with a thick head with great retention and leaving laces.
Mild aroma with notes of Lager yeast, dough, honey and faint floral.
Flavor with notes Lager yeast, floral and herbal hops, a bit of tangy as well, malt juice and grains. Dry aftertaste with a mild bitterness
Light body with appropriate carbonation.
Pleasant, yeasty and plain Pale Lager. Thirst quencher with faint hopping, though contributing to flavor.

underrated here, the better of the two lagers i had at one of their london pubs, never really knew them to make lagers, but i liked this. its simple and clean, with some structure for its low alcohol content, and while its mild and just sort of tastes like beer, its also not boring, with an obvious maturity and dryness, some flavor from the lager yeast, a crisp and refreshing cold conditioned mouthfeel, and some softly herbal hops at the end. great carbonation, high refinement, and something that could be enjoyed pint after pint. its not the best lager in the world, but it is decidedly english, not the dry earthy crackery pils malts, not as much flavor as that, and not as naturally sort of bready, and i like the english hops, non noble, light spice still though. such a mellow drinker, well made and sort of timeless to me, not really what they are known for, at least in my mind, but this really worked for me in a session context. it was a pleasure to drink some sam smith beers a little closer to the source, they travel pretty well, but they were all at another level in london!

Pours a thin head on a clear light straw body.
The aroma is mild lemon.
The taste is close to flavorless, mild honey sweetness.
The texture is crisp.
Not a great beer.
