Look is good for the style: that is, lemony and promising of refreshment. The head is somewhat durable, the cling is there, but not noteworthy. The beer's taste, however, sets it apart. There is an aspect to it that I can only characterize as "floral" that makes the beer memorable.

On tap at the Steak & Lobster restaurant near Heathrow airport.

Looks nice enough, medium yellow body, small white head, scattered lacing.

Strong malty aroma, seems a little off.

On tasting, grainy, faintly sweet, somewhat smooth I guess.

Mouth just about medium, finish has a touch of an aftertaste.

Overall, middle of the pack euro pale lager, nothing encouraging about it.

Lager colour but quite a bright glowing yellow,, small head, little lacing. Strong grainy aroma, harsh malty taste, quite sweet and also quite dry, feel ends up being okay and reasonably balanced It's not that refreshing and a little on the dry side. Okay but not much better than that.

marginally better than i found their pale ale most of the time, at least it tastes relatively fresh, but another sort of mediocre middling beer from meantime, who i had always liked when i had their beers in the states, but who seems to have been surpassed locally in london, at least in these basic styles. this is a little heavier than it needs to be, neither crisp nor refreshing in the way we usually think about pale lagers being. it looks a shade darker than most, just a little richer, but i actually like the grain profile of this a lot, its easily the beers best feature. slightly nutty but dry, and with some structure that supports the bitter goldings type hops, there is good balance there, and in terms of its basic construction, there really are no issues. the thing for me is the fermentation profile, the lager yeast doesnt have much flavor, but just a curious little fruity ester like its gotten warm or something, or like it didnt have enough time to condition out to clean. there is nice carbonation here, but a sort of cheap taste because the yeast is weird that lingers long after the swallow, disrupting the clean and bright finish i want from the style. a little gloomy like the english weather overall, maybe that was their point...

12oz bottle at the View from the Shard. Poured out a clear, golden color with a small, white head of bubbly foam. It smelled of caramel and floral notes. Sweet caramel and toasted malt with a mild bitterness.

Has a very vivid yellow colour that looks almost unnatural. Not much to smell. Not much to taste either apart from a pronounced lemon flavour. Mouthfeel is pleasant with some chew, low carbonation, a touch of sweet richness and dry finish. Nothing memorable or stand-out here.

Misty yellow. Thin head.
Yeast and grain aroma. A bit of honey. Citrus twang.
Initial mid-sweetness makes way to a light malt and citrus.
Well carbonated and light in body.
A refreshing but ultimately lightweight lager.
