500ml bottle from Tesco. Pours clear amber, thin white head, which does stay around, but provides no lacing. Aromas are slightly metallic and ferrous. Some light biscuit. Taste is decent enough, light bitter, light sweet. Finishes crisp and clean. Inoffensive.

Bottle from Tesco drunk at home. Clear deep gold lasting white head. Some boiled sweets on the aroma. Somewhere between a pale ale and a golden ale. It’s ok.

Golden colour. Quite a strong hoppy aroma. A bit stale tasting with muted, fruity hop tones.

50cl bottle from Tesco, Camberley. A bland and boring golden ale. Amber with a loose white head; stewed vegetable aroma; muddy malt taste with a faint trace of orangey citrus; and a slightly raslping, metallic, finish. There are many better examples of this style.

Clear 500ml bottle, shared with my wife on 6th Sep 2013: the bottle being split between two old ’Home Ales’ half-pint Countryman Tankards. The beer is more orange than amber in colour, a white head covers but leaves early. Fizzy and bland were the words my good lady and I came up with. It was refreshing, but lacked true flavour or character. Boring is another word we could have used. The aroma was a weak blend of sweet citrus notes and light malts. The taste didn’t fair much better, metallic feel to the whole thing with caramel side effects. Not nasty, but not good, sugar soaked grains in an alcohol soup sort of brew: just didn’t sit right at all.

500ml bottle from Tesco - A clear orangey yellow body, short-lived white head. Nose is faintly hoppy, with a hint of peppery citrus. Taste is a tinny metallic orange or tangerine. A bit bland, and forgettable.

500ml bottle. Pours orange gold with a large head. Aroma is vanilla and orange squash. Taste has fruity malt, just the right side of boiled sweet. Orange in the finish.
