Drank straight from the can, no appearance info. Strong hoppy aroma. Taste is tart and a strong hop bitterness with noticeable alcohol presence. Feel is earthy and dry. A full tasting lager if a little overdone. A lower abv might have been better for this beer but still a nice drink.

A 330ml can with a BB of June 2017. Acquired recently from Morrisons. Described as 'Crafted Lager' - there's that play on the word craft....
A: Poured into a pilsner glass. A bright golden hue with faint haze and low carbonation. Produces a decent head of white foam that lasts for a minute or so before reducing to a patchy surface layer.
S: Aroma of grassy hops with hints of hay, noble hops, faint spice, pale malt, a touch of barley and earthy yeast. Rather nice.
T: Tastes of noble hops with notes of grass/hay, mild herbal hints, pale malt, barley sugar and earthy yeast. Slightly sweet, followed by a crisp, understated bitterness upon swallowing.
M: Mouthfeel is smooth, tingly and fairly dry, with soft carbonation and good body. Aftertaste of bitter grassy hops, earthiness and light malt.
O: Pretty good, given that Wychwood tends towards somewhat more commercial ales. Looks OK, though a bit undercarbonated. Aroma and flavour have a pleasantly hoppy character, back up by subtler malt and yeast notes. Body is alright. If you're looking for something easy-going then this is decidedly drinkable. Worth trying.

Gold colour. Slight haze. Decent head.
Hoppy aroma - unusual for a lager.
Fruity and grainy with some sweetness. Dry finish.
Standard euro lager feel however the overall impression is of a hybrid beer.
I think I know what the "Goblin" would say about this.

New from Wychwood, not sure how it jives with their "Afraid you might taste something Lagerboy?" marketing line
£1.50 can from Morrisons
Pours a light copper, good head.
Aroma of very light soft fruits, and herbal hops, light grain. Pleasant enough, if somewhat muted.
Not much to the flavour, there's a somewhat metallic hoppyness to it, a tad soapy too. It is well bittered at least.
Fairly slick mouthfeel, moderate-igh carb. semi dry finish
Overall, not a beer I would seek out again
