Barwa bursztynowa, klarowna. Piana niewielka, niezbyt trwała. Aromat chmielowy, troszkę cytrusów i ziół, niezbyt intensywny, ale przyjemny. W smaku dość słodkie, trochę ziołowości, trawy, trochę jakby herbata w smaku. Wyraźnie brakuje ciała i trochę goryczki. Nie posiada jakiś szczególnych wad, pije się dobrze, jednak brakuje tego konkretu.

w zapachu sporo cytryny (jak ze sprite), trochę ziół, do tego karmel i trochę słodowości. kolor bursztynowy, klarowny. piana skąpa i szybko znika. półpełne, wyraźna słodowość, ale mimo to sprawia wrażenie lekko wodnistego. trochę karmelu, chleba, pieprzu, może fasoli? goryczka wysoka, czysta, ziołowa, długa, dominująca smak. pozostawia średnio przyjemne uczucie na języku, trochę jakby go powoskować. nasycenie wysokie. zapach zdecydowanie najlepszą stroną piwa

Bottled. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is bitter, grainy, some wood and mild rubbery notes. Flavour is rubbery, grainy, mild floral and grassy notes. Very typical Greene King product.

50 cl bottle @ Baltic Princess, BBE 12/2015. Aroma has grass, buttery tones and toffee. Also mild menthol tones. Flavour has toffee, some apricot, moderate hoppy tones and hints of minerals. Clean and quite typical British IPA. Bot somehow I seem to enjoy this.

50cl bottle from ABCBeers. Thin white head, Clear golden pour. Subtle bitterness. Certainly not an IPA. but pleasant enough to drink at only 4%

Pint, keg at a sports bar in Derby. Clear amber coloured body. Creamy white head blanketing the glass. Subdued floral hops on the nose. Bittersweet taste of dusty hops and caramel malts. Mild bitter tail. Soft carbonated. Quite fine bodied. Perfect with the cheeseburger (Derby 20.02.2015).

500ml bottle. Pours clear gold, thin white head. Aromas of minerals, light tropical fruit, light buttery biscuit. Taste is light sweet, bit saline. Orange bitterness on the finish. Not bad.

Bottle from Tesco and drunk at home. Clear gold lasting white head. It’s got a little GK house character. Some vague hop. Some bitterness. It’s ok if not that exciting. Bit of harsh bitterness. Apparently it’s got American hops and I suppose the hops are better than they are in most GK beers. OK.

500ml bottle from a supermarket - not sure which one - Amber body, thin frothy head. Looks inviting enough. Nose is very nondescript, bit of caramel, bit of malt. Taste is sweet and fresh, but lacking in any real character. Bit of a bitter finish, lasts a bit too. But nothing spectacular.

Keg at the Prince Regent, Cambridge. Another keg beer from GK. Pale yellow with an ice cream cone head. Tight, white and not quite right. Aroma is a bit more enticing. Floral grassy hop with a hint of canned fruit. The taste unfortunately leaves quite a lot to be desired: butter, inedible plant, wet dog. Short finish. Not the worst beer I’ve had but there’s no good excuse for Greene King putting this out.
