Clear glass bottle, (not a good start). Next to no head or lacing present , body pale amber that's decent to look at. Strange biscuity aroma with a hint of body odour . Maybe the beer could have skunked due to clear glass bottle. Taste is sweet and earthy and sticks to the back of the throat. Not undrinkable but poor.

Served cold (as recommended on the 500ml clear bottle) into a pint mug.
L) Attractive amber colour, clear, small bubbles rising. Thin bubbly white head.
S) Skunked due to the clear bottle. Behind that, maybe some fusty English hops.
T) Okayish, light caramelly flavour, very little hop flavour and hardly any bitterness. Inoffensive.
F) Fine, no aftertaste and a bit of fizz to make it fairly refreshing.
O) This was cheap from the supermarket; whack it in the fridge and drink it quick is my advice.

Bottled
It's golden, the body but the white head disappears and leaves such tiny trace amounts
they are barely visible
There is an aroma it is body aroma and burning toast
It's the least flavoursome beer ever
cheap macro lager has more going on
it is watery thin
prime contender for world's worst beer
