High Wycome House Warming. Thanks to Fergus. Clear amber beer, small cream colour head. Palate is light and semi dry, modest carbonation. Light tangy malts. Slightly insipid dark fruits, touch of orange peel. Crispy finish. No surprises here.

Bottle shared in High Wycombe - thanks to Fergus for this rare treat. Pours deep amber with a creamy topping. The nose holds toasted bread, berries. Light sweet flavour with further brown bread, berries, biscuits, light toffee. Light bodied with average carbonation. Finishes with moderate sweetness, more toasty bread, dried berries. Nice mild.

The taste is smooth, slightly bitter, wishy washy, soda water, brown bread, rivita and cracker with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carabontion. Basic stuff.

500ml bottle into a UK pint sleeve at lunchtime on 11th Aug 2016: taken with a packet of Cheese and Onion French Fries (18 grams). Mahogany body, clean and clear: on top an uneven blanket of beige foam. Red berries in the nose and taste, bitter and spicy in the mouth, hedgerow fruits in the flavour, dry and almost harsh on the palate.

Bottle from ASDA, Keighley. Copper coloured with a very thin head. Ordinary bitter, with a mild bitterness alongside a mild sweetness with hints of caramel.
