Poured on tap at Jacksons on George.
Pours a pale straw colour, heads hangs around a while, and nice lacing.
Aromas of hops, in Pilsener, not lager style.
Taste is also Pilsener, hop driven, and citrus.
HOWEVER - carbonation is a real problem here, with sherbet-like tingling insistence on the tongue, which kills the remaining flavour.
A good effort, let down by the above trials.
