Bottle from flavourly.com. Pours moderate amber with a thick, rapidly fading white frothy head and leaves no lacing. Aroma is malty, grain, bread and some grass. Some hoppiness.

Keg at the Queen of Bradgate, Leicester. Deep golden with a slight white head. Low aroma of grain and a touch of nectarine. Bitter taste, unremittingly so, with a plastic-laden finish and aftertaste. Nicely carbonated for what it’s worth but this isn’t a great beer. Instantly forgettable.

Bottled. Slightly hazy orange colour with a small white head. Aroma is fruity, floral and some grainy and mild grassy notes. Flavour is floral, fruity, some grassy and mild grainy and bready malty notes.

Almost clear gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light, dry and finely minerally crisp. Thin malts, mildly sweet. Decent hop spice. Tangy spicy orange that gets bitterish. Little tangerine. Light dry finish. Clean and reasonably hoppy. No real lager character.

To take away the taste of a Magic Hat Dream Machine. Brilliant orange gold narrowly collared. Nose of good sappy shrub, cherry blossom, raw fennel, apricot jam pastries and buttered satsuma. Slick and shrubby in the Germanic vein with a honeyed rusk, unsalted peanut and toasted bread cleanliness and low gummy orange hop of (possibly) continental provenance. Certainly not a full American hop character as trumpeted by the blurb but a decent European-style lager with the orange citrus of the hop turned marginally up in a manner that doesn’t compromise its essential lageriness. Full mouthfeel. Good but a bit sickly- would struggle with a bigger bottle.
