Bottle from Aldi, Eccles. Deeper amber coloured with a thin head. Has a thinnish toffee aroma and taste, but easy-drinking and sessionable.

Bottle, gift from Tom. Clear golden/amber body with an off-white head. Steady carbonation. Good lacing. Aroma of earth, peanuts and wood. Flavour of Twiglets, nuts and peppery earth. Thin body with a slick texture. Soft fizz. A nice traditional British pale ale.

Clear deep golden color with a fine white head. Toffee, nutty, fruity and herbal. A really nice and tasty bitter. Especially at 3,8%. Medium body and a fine carbonation. Ok balance between sweetness and bitterness.

500ml bottle from Aldi - Clear golden colour with a thick creamy head. Nose is wet cereal, tastes a bit watery at the start, but survives with the palate a bit. Not a guid ale really, not sure what it is aiming to be.

On cask at the Standing Order. Appearance - amber with a nice head. Nose - oats, honey, maybe even toffee. Maybe some nuts too. Taste - confirmed as above kinda like Hobnobs. Palate - close to medium bodied with creamy sweet texture and a fairly good finish. Overall - it’s not necessarily guid but it is decent.

Bottle from Aldi and drunk at home. Clear amber colour lasting thin beige head. Touch of malty sweetness and fruit on the aroma. Then a spicy malty flavour in the mouth. Faint hop on the finish. OK, drinkable enough.
