2016 catch up - Thin and watery with the merest hint of oak. Slight sweetness, light colour and overally not one for me.

330 ml bottle from some grocery store. ABV is 4.4%. Clear golden colour, moderate white head. Moderate aroma of malts, only a hint of oak and vanilla. The flavour is thirstquenching and not too sweet with a slight apricot fruitiness, again only a hint of oak and vanilla. Very moderate hops.

Bottle from B&M, Rochdale. Clear golden with a small glow and next to no head. Has soapy-floral notes with a lowish bitterness. It’s not the greatest of tastes.

Bright clear gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and mildly minerally crispness. Little vanilla oak and thin cream. Mild orange that is mildly tangy. Minerally thin finish. Classic I&G flavours but it’s all a bit thin and getting watery.

Bottle from B&m. Pale golden colour with a large foamy white head. Aroma is oaky and light sweet. So is the taste.

33cl bottle. Pours clear amber with a thick white head. Aroma is sweet with some toffee and vanilla. Some malt, but vanilla covers much here. Flavor has vanilla, malt, toffee. Feels quite thin, bit fizzy. Not very complex, but I seems to like this one. Sweetness feels sligthly artificial, but not disturbing.

29th June 2015: 33cl bottle into a Chimay chalice at home. Clear bright and golden pour: the head a thin white wispy affair. Sweet and yet lemony in flavour, the nose being just lemony. Lemon Meringue Pie complete with the pastry came to my thoughts as I slowly drank this trying to find the flavours most similar to it’s strange taste. I like Lemon Meringue Pie, but I didn’t take to this.

33cl bottle from B&M, Reading. Amber with a loose white head; typical I&G musty aroma; rather thin in the mouth with some vanilla oak to start, a quickly passing cardboard bitterness; and then a sweet finish with possibly a trace of apricot. There’s a raw alcohol edge at the end - rather unusual in a 4% beer!
