Cardinal sins?

I have been wondering which beer in the Cardinal range I would prefer: Original Draft, Spéciale or Lager. As I had two of them ready for tasting anyway, I decided to compare them once and for all:
Appearance: The Draft is lightest, Spéciale darker and Lager just slightly darker again.
Aroma: Draft, very little. Spéciale and Lager more and nicer.
Taste: Draft more yeasty and watery. Spéciale more traditional. Lager slightly more bitter.

I have rated these 2/6, 3/6 and 3/6, and the final ranking is:
  1. Spéciale
  2. Lager
  3. Original Draft
