Bottle from B&M, Halifax. Golden coloured ale in a clear bottle, but not too skunky on this occasion. Has next to no head. Crisp and easy in the palate, but an ordinary golden ale that’s not too flavoursome.

50cl bottle from B&M, Reading. A bright amber pour with a trace of white head; fruity malt aroma; rather thin, with an overboiled malt taste; and very little in the way of a finish.

500ml bottle @ the 7th Shrewsbury Bottle Share, Aug 14, thanks to Blackhaddock. Pours clear amber with thin bubbly head. Sweetcorn aroma. Lightly fizzy, moderately sweet. Taste is corn, hay, minimal hops. Really not great at all.

500ml bottle. Colour is pale orange with almost no head. Aroma of bread, light caramel, and fruits. Taste starts creamy and malty, and leads to an sharpe finish.

Clear 500ml Bottle: BBD 30 Sep 2014. Poured into an ’Old Speckled Hen’ badged vase shaped pint glass on 17 Aug 2013. Light golden body, clear and clean looking. Thin white head with a thicker collar, carbonation bubble lines rising through the brew. Sweet grain aroma, with slight lemon and maybe tropical fruit smell (the rear label mentions passion fruit and lychee), but I might have dreamt that. Tasted like a shandy: sweet, fizzy and lemony with very little hop or malt presence. Very disappointing, the mission failed for me. Not my favourite Batemans brew: maybe I’m not picking up subtle or delicate flavours, but this isn’t doing it for me at all. I’ve got another 3 bottles of it too!
