Bottle at home at a perfect temperature, even if I may so myself! A bitter aroma of hops and some wheat and that was what I got from the taste. It was raspingly thirst quenching and slipped down a treat. Maybe it was because this was my first beer for a week, but it was very drinkable. The depth and range of flavour was impressive from a beer with such a low abv.

50cl bottle from Morrisons, Bracknell, An attractive bright amber pour with a loose cream head; aroma of tropical fruit and yeast; immediately fruity in the mouth, then developing a spicy bitterness over a biscuity malt base; leading to a dry spicy finish with lingering fruit. Jolly good, and helping a good cause.

Bottle. Golden body, white head. Dry aroma, slightly herbal, vague fruity hoppiness, a bit washed out. Full maltiness for the ABV, fruity hoppy touches, solid bitterness. Huh... An English session IPA of sorts. Meh, okay.

A golden beer, a head is medium and blond. Aroma has mild fruitness, lemon, perry, also some grain. Quite nice aroma, but mild. Taste has biscuity grain, harsh bitterness is nicely strong, but without aromatic notes. Light+ bodied. The aroma was promising but the taste is too harsh and there isn't aromatic notes anymore.
