Now I'm not a chap who normally drinks lager. I am even less likely to be found drinking pale lager. It is generally, it has been said, the sort of day when Satan and his princes of destruction bring forth their woolly hats and mittens before I would drink a pale Italian lager. But needs must when staying in a second rate hotel and I found myself faced with this little number. Having seen a number of other reviews, I can confidently say that it is not well liked. It is criticized for being both too fizzy and not fizzy enough (why blame the beer for the pubs equipment?) and many reviewers just think it is rather flavorless. Now, even knowing the torrent of abuse I am likely to receive for saying so, I have had any number of Italian lagers that I had wished were flavorless, so it certainly won't be losing points for that. It caries hints of grain and a touch of yeast. Mostly though it is simply inoffensive and refreshing, two distinct points in its favor. A solid 5/10 and a fervent wish that this hotel had a better stocked bar...
