Bottle from ASDA. Bright golden, small foamy head disappears. Aroma is grainy, a tad bit vegetal. Taste follows with more of the grainy flavors, smooth. Nothing wrong with it, just a plain lager.

L- Very pale straw, clear, pours with 5mm white head.
S- Mild grainy smell.
T- Mild grains, some bright hops come in, then a prominent bready flavour that lingers through the finish. There is something with the latter facet that stands out as a little out of place, but it's minor enough I can't describe it any more clearly.
F- The feel is pretty good for 4.5% ABV, in that it has more body than I expected and also it's very pale look.
O- It has +ve and one -ve aspects. It's drinkable, but not one I'd look to buy again.
330ml bottle BB: 05/11/2020 Bought from a Tesco in London £2.
p.s. The listing for this beer is inconsistent with 'the rules'. Brewgooder is listed as if it were a brewery; but it's not, it's more a charity or social cause. This beer is brewed by Brewdog for Brewgooder. You'll see on the lable Brewdog's tiny logo (on the spade icon!) + they are thanked for brewing it!

330ml Can from Co-Op (£1.50):
Really disappointing stuff here, especially given this is a beer I've been wanting to try for a while but in the end it wasn't much better than a standard macro pale lager with very little on the nose & not much more coming through with the taste either. I managed to get some corn & faint hay with the odd background hop & some faint malts bitterness nearer the end but it was quite bland & boring throughout, it's a shame I've still got a couple more of this one to get through now.

pours a slightly hazy golden body with decent enough white head
smells like bad foot sweat when opened then settles to cheap cornflakes
the flavour is minimal, you know flavoured water, well beer flavoured spring water

Golden color with a thin head with short retention.
Aroma with notes of banana bread, lemon and a bit of lager yeast.
Flavor with notes of floral hops, just a bit of Sorachi lemony, banana bread and grains. Dry aftertaste with a mild bitterness.
Light to watery body with appropriate carbonation.
Mild and easy to drink American Pale Lager with hop notes without being bitter. A bit watery and shy flavors, though with the right notes. Beefing up all ingredients would make all difference to this brew.

CAn, Aldi.
Pours clear gold, nice head.
Sulphury aroma, gives way to a touch of lemon and spice
Bready, touch of lemon again in the taste. Mild bitterness, sweetness, too much butter. Good carb, oily mouthfeel. It's ok

Pours clear golden into a glass from a can. Offwhite head is lingering, frothy ancd crisp.
Aroma is slightly sweet, grainy, with a slight straw-fresh dough breadiness, and a hint of sunflower seeds.
Flavour is very buttery right from the get-go, with something akin to sunflower oil dominating the palate. There's bread-dough, grain, sweet grass, and light malts.
Feel is light and slightly oily.
I really feel like I'm drinking butterbeer which is ruining this lager for me. Not a fan of this combination at all which is a shame.
