500 ml bottle, bought at Superbrugsen, Skødstrup. The dusty bottles on the shelf testified that this was not the store’s most popular beer.

Nice aroma of fruity hops, also notes of caramel and nuts. The flavour was fruity and acidic, nearly lemony. Definitely past its prime.

August 2014: Pint on tap at The Last Post, Guernsey, as Breda Super Dry Premium Lager. Should probably have the same brewery status as Breda XXX Royal Lager / Premium Lager (= Brewed at Randalls by/for United Dutch Breweries). Very pale golden colour., long sparkling with small bubbles (probably due to the etchings in the glass). Moderate white head. Weak aroma, some grassy hints. Reasonably dry and crisp flavour, but not "super dry" - there is some residual sweetness. No off-flavours, but unfortunately the hops are far too moderate.

August 2014: Halfpint on tap at The Last Post, Guernsey, as Breda XXX Premium Lager Beer, and 500 ml can at the Fauxquets Valley Campsite, as Breda XXX Royal Lager, ABV 5%.

Flavour notes keg: The flavour is rather bland, no obvious faults other than the hops being far too moderate. Flavour notes can: Malty and slightly alcoholic flavour, despite only 5% ABV. Moderate but noticeable hops.
