Bottle from Aldi Supermarket, Keighley. Pale golden with a small head. Easy enough IPA, hoppy in both aroma and taste.

500ml bottle: BBE Nov 2018. Poured into an Abbot Ale badged glass pint tankard at home on 10th Aug 2017. Light golden body, clean and clear looking, snowy white foaming head. Mild, light malts in an aroma dominated by citrusy hop notes. Taste follows the same lines with a light malty underbelly bossed around by the hop content. Slight bitter finish, otherwise just another golden brew with a citrus leaning that seem to be flooding the UK market currently. I do like Williams Bros beers though and this is a lot better than a lot of similar brews about.

Bottle from Aldi, Carrick-on-Shannon [130816]
Straw colour, clear, frothy white head
Aroma of light pale malts, hint of sweet butter caramel, slight oniony hops
Taste of soft citrus, sweet sugars, pale malts, butterscotch caramel, soft bitter zest, only a hint of fruit
Palate - soft carb, medium light body, sweet malt, slight bitter zest. Finish of over sweet malts, more bitter zest in the tail.
Overall - Not sure about this, too sweet for an IPA. Must have had a cack bottle looking at the other ratings here - thought this was a bit of a miss

Bottle from Aldi. It pours clear light gold with a decent white head. The nose is fresh, bread, brioche, lemon curd, tinned pineapple and grass. The taste is crisp, clean, decent grassy bitterness, lemon peel, pine needles, straw and biscuit with a dry finish. Light - Medium body and moderate carbonation. Crisp, clean and balanced. Nice stuff.
