500ml bottle, pours amber with a white head. Aromas & tastes of flora, fruits, caramel, grain, herbs, hops & malt. Medium body. Smooth light bitter finish. Quite enjoyable, shame they've gone out of business.

Bottle from a Spar shop. Pours a clear amber with no head at all. Aroma of sweet malts, caramel, nuts, light grassy and herbal hop. Taste is also very malty and caramel and nut noted but there is a nice level of bitterness running through and is quite clean tasting. Body also has a nice smoothness and a zingy carbonation which works well with it. Quite nice.

Big bottle at the bar in The Manor House, Hotel, Castle Combe, 17th June 2021. Pours a caramel colour, almost chestnut brown. Aroma is caramel, roasted malts, light citrus. Taste is caramel, bitter sugar, roasted malts, smooth, light metallic, not a bad beer.

Bottle from the Co-Op Cirencester Services. Pours a clear light copper colour with a one finger creamy off-white head. Lively carbonation. Aromas of floral , caramel, toffee and a touch of honey. Taste is similar with added toasty notes, a little spice and an earthy bitterness. Dry finish. Medium body with a smooth oily mouthfeel. Not bad.

Bottle from Tesco, Aldershot. Although the label says IPA I guessed this would indeed be down as an ESB... Rich berry and marzipan aroma. Brown-gold. The refugees from a creamy white head form a narrow ring. The sweetness is what I first notice. Followed by lowkey bitterness, which gradually asserts itself. Some of the taste mirrors the aroma but less pleasantly there's also a watered down medicinal element t with some boiled veg. Light bodied. Thin if slick. Flat-average carbonation. Dry astringent finish. For something that smells nice and fruity the taste is a pretty flat letdown. Drinkable but that's it.

Clear copper colour with thin head. Aroma and flavour have a lot of fruity hop notes. Floral and dry. Easy to drink.

18/7/2019. Bottle shared at the South West tour bottle share. Bought at Darts Farm near Topsham, Devon. Pours golden amber with a small off-white head leaving nice lacing. Aroma of malt, hops, fruit, flowers and grass. Medium sweetness and light bitterness. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Easy drinking, nice.
