Fizzy yellow beer is for wussies, the crew from Stone proclaim.
This sadly is probably an example of what they're on about - though it's not in truth that fizzy overall. Instead it sits moping in the glass, a yellow testament to the emasculation of beer. The nose reminds me of being a student who didn't know, and couldn't afford, any better, and it tastes just like that too. There's a beer in there somewhere amongst that weird sweet effect you get with premium lagers. An interesting revisit then to days past then, but I can't say I'm too nostalgic.
At least this one's truly from Germany, and it doesn't have that metallic crack these too often do. Slightly maltier than usual for these too which is nice, though it does also carry through a saccharine sweetness that's a bit offputting.
Not too bad a choice if you really must have a 'premium lager'? 2.0
