Supplier: Beer52
Part of the Red Squirrel's Mad Squirrel range that was was inspired by the consumer and the craft beer scene. This was the first (and so far only) beer in this range, and is a dry hopped version of a Czech Pilsner. I served this chilled.

Appearance: An incredibly clear golden colour with a thin, and fast clearing, white head.
Aroma: Grape notes with a sweet caramel back, there are some strong phenolic compounds in it as well.
Flavour: Some grape notes but there is pretty much no flavour in it at all.
Body: A medium body that is light enough to go well with this style, a bit too carbonated.
Aftertaste: A mix of caramel and cereal, with a little hoppy bitterness; probably the most flavoursome part of it.
Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 3, not unpleasant but it's almost like drinking water, neither nice nor unpleasant.
Price Range: Part of the box of 10 I got for £14 (usually £29), so it works out at £1.40 for a 330ml bottle; an OK price for something that is drinkable, it is comparable to the more commercial lagers.
Food Pairings: Some sweet but spicy chicken thighs/drumsticks, it will overpower the beer a bit but most things will.
