Bottle from Asda. Bronzey-amber with a middling off-white head and a light fizz. Smells of caramel, metal and dust. Taste is a little better with sweet caramel up front, some biscuit, a touch of spice, an earthiness behind, and a light dryness in the moderately bitter finish. But the metal is still there with a hint of cardboard too - I suspect this has been heavily pasteurised. Not great.

Bottle from my local grocery store ‘Loco’. Pours a clear copper colour with a medium sized thick creamy white head. Aroma is fruity with caramel, toasty bread and a little spice. Taste has lots of caramel and burnt toasty bread with peppery spice. There is also a tobacco, leathery and earthy note that lingers on the palate on the bitter finish. Medium to full body, average carbonation and smooth slightly oily mouthfeel. Seems suitable for the colder months. Quite a good beer.

500ml bottle. Pours deep copper with an off-white head. Aroma: caramel malt, earthy hops, light floral. Taste: light sweet & moderate bitter, toffee, sweet caramel, apple and berry hints. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation and a light hoppy bitter close. I never get on with SN beers, maybe it's the yeast.

Pours an almost transparent clear copper, with one finger of firm and dense white head. Good persistence and some hints of lacing. Quite intense and pretty interesting aroma shows a layer of toffee and caramel malts, a grassy/piney undernote, floral hops and citric hops bordering red fruits, plus a light spicy hint. In the taste: caramel and toffee malts sweetness, some kind of 'ripe' citric fruitiness, which as mentioned borders red fruits. Light floral hops and slight spiciness too. Sweetish entrypoint and balanced finish and aftertaste. The taste is overall complex and quite intense as the aroma, but not equally defined/clean. Medium bodied with low to medium carbonation. Strangely 'burpy' given the not too high carbonation. An overall enjoyable example of classic english ipa.
