Bottle 50 cl. Golden color with average white foam. Aroma: malt, a little fruit, corn, diacetyl. Taste: malt, a bit hops, a little fruit, yellow plums and fruit esters. Sad, comrades.

Bottle. Clear golden, moderate off-white head. Low retention. Faint aroma of caramel & spicy hop. Light body. Thin to oily texture. The flavour is bittersweet. Sweet malts, bisquit, English hop bitterness well detectable but suffered a bit on keeping (the bottle is not that fresh). The ending is quite short. Light grassy bitter on aftertaste. OK

On cask at the Grosvenor. Appearance - cloudy amber with a decent head. Nose - faint butter and dry malt. Taste - bread and caramel. Astringent malt finish. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy texture but a very astringent finish. Overall - you get used to it and it improves in that way anyway.

Cask. Smooth, fresh, sweetish start. Golden smooth and fresh. For me a bit too sweetish. But nice. Malty with a slightly bitter sweetish aftertaste.

Clear bottle, never a good start. Golden body with a thin, off-white head. Low carbonation. No lacing. Aroma of... nothing, really. Weak hints of paper and lemon. Flavour of lemon, watered down malt and sweetcorn. Thin body with a watery texture. Soft fizz. Lacking in pretty much all departments. It’s like beer without aroma or flavour - completely devoid of charm.

Bottle from Tesco. Clear bottle so unsurprisingly skunky. The texture is not bad, light and drinkable. Some fruit evident.
