[50cl bottle from Morrison’s, Bracknell.] A pale amber pour with a thick cream head; malty caramel aroma; jammy in the mouth, but not too sweet; then a biscuity finish with a light herbal bitterness. Not bad.

Bottle from Old Shambles Tavern in York. Appearance - golden with a generous fluffy head. Clearly bottle conditioned. Nose - bread and more precisely cake. Taste - lemon sherbet and custard. Palate - light to medium bodied with a dry middle and end section. Overall - a little underwhelming.

500ml bottle conditioned: drank at home on 11th Sep 2015. Poured slowly into a UK pint sleeve. Straw blonde with a slight haze, on top a full white blanket of foam. Could have been a chill haze because I think I over cooled it. Not a lot going on in the nose or flavourings, refreshing enough, but lacks oomph and depth for a 5% ABV ale. Mild, or subtle hop presence depending on your stance, just a bit bland for me.

Bottle from t’corner shop. Cloudy (poured in the sediment) yellow. White, fluffy head. Little aroma, hint of lemon with malt. Taste is sweet but thin. Thin metallic aftertaste. Disappointing.
