Professional insight

Off-licence buyers check the pack date first. A light lager like this tastes best young.

  • Pick clear bottles from the back, away from shelf light.
  • Pint cans hold 568 ml, regular cans 440 ml.
  • Check for dented seams on multipack cans.
  • Skip packs stacked warm near a sunny window.
