L- Pale straw, clear, 2mm white head clearing to lacing with light rising CO2, and later nil carbonation remaining.
S- Very mild, rather anonymous straw/saw-dust.
T- Pretty dry, some mild dry hops, nothing else noted.
F- If it were a hot day and you had nothing else I expect this might go down ok. But it is seriously lacking in interest or dimensions, depth or really anything notable at all. That said there isn't anything notably wrong here, it just lacks cause to buy it again.
O- I was surprised and quite intrigued to find this in M&S London W8 today; I haven't seen it stocked before and M&S can invariably be relied upon. I was doubly intrued to see a 4*440ml pack reduced to just £2. It's BB: 04/2020 so not short-dated. When I got home the penny dropped. The brewery brews over 1/4Bln litres a year, including discount brands for LIDL, 7-11 (Asia), and so on. It is moderately refreshing, but I'd not buy it again. I wonder how, why, M&S teamed up with this brewery.
[Pls note a rating of 2.5/5 on any aspect for me = neutral/mid-point/average, ie an unremarkable or poor beer will rate below that.]
