500ml can. (4.2% ABV) Pours a clear amber with a small, creamy, short lived, ecru head that laces. Mild aroma of biscuit malt, grass and floral hops. Sweet flavour of biscuit malt, caramel, citrus and grass with a dry, bitter, hoppy, metallic finish. Light body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Easy drinking.

Tall can at Josh's. Pours a clear copper with a white head. Aroma is lots of sweet candies. Taste is similar. Like a caramel-ish pop. Meh.

500mL can, pours a clear dark copper with a small white head. Aroma is loaded with butterscotch, some light diacetyl and bready malt. Flavour is quite shitty, with loads of butter, bready malt and butterscotch. Classic diacetyl bomb from the Brits. Bad.

Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.
