| McGargle |  | 29 Apr 2010 | On a straw coloured canvas the brewer applied hints of hops with no body and no real flavour. Undemanding and now brewed to 4.3%. Absolutely no resemblance to Budweiser Budvar. |

| Andrew |  | 18 Jun 2009 | Not as good as earlier in the week as it was a bit less lively and fresh but nothing wrong with it and quite drinkable. |
| Andrew |  | 15 Jun 2009 | This was very drinkable. Light and frothy with hints of grapefruit and orange. |

| Ian | | 28 Aug 2006 | If anything, slightly better condition than the day before. Seemed a bit more settled. Flavours, as before, of citrus, whilst still being juicy and in no way soapy. |
| Ian | | 27 Aug 2006 | Pale gold colour with lasting white head. Citrusy hop aroma with juicy malt in the mouth and then lovely citrus fruit on the end. Lots of lemon and grapefruit and bits of tangerine. Lovely stuff. |
| Ian | Not Tried | 30 Jul 2005 | Just going off as I was at the bar. Can't believe it went so quickly. It wasn't on Thursday evening and by Saturday early afternoon, it had gone |

5.00% ABV.
The nose is a bit like Budweiser Budvar. A light and fruity, with a medium bitter finish. A clean tasting, refreshing, easy to drink premium beer. Made with The palest English malt (sometimes known as lager malt), using The finest Slovenian Styrian, and Czechoslovakian Saaz hops
