Clear amber beer, small bubbly pale tan head. Light palate, mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Thin bodied malts, some watery cream and caramel. Ripe fruits, date, fig and bruised citrus. Light finish. Tastes like a Camra special. Don't hate it, has a style, never gonna be even remotely excited about it.

500ml bottle from Beers of Europe, online. Pours dark reddish-brown, small light beige head which lasts quite well, nice lacing. Aroma is sweet with malts, caramel, berries. Taste is sweet, malty, toffee, earthy, pepper, hint of berry fruitiness but less than the aroma suggests. Dry mouthfeel, light to medium bodied. Its quite good.

Bottle from Morrisons Supermarket in Cromer. Drank unceremoniously from its distinctive bottle in the dark on a campsite in the seaside town. Subtle red ale, although has the characteristics and taste and pretty decent regardless.

Bottle at home found in a weird shop in Norfolk. Great pour with a gorgeous rich colour in the glass. This is malt all the way with maybe a slight bitter hops lurking in the background. Loads going on for the abv.

500ml weird-shaped St Peter's bottle bought from Beers of Europe and drunk at home. Mid- to dark red and translucent with a ring of off-white head. Light spicy and malty aroma. Sweet taste initially, with hearty malt notes. It's fairly bitter in the rounded finish, more malt in the aftertaste. Medium to heavy carbonation. Pretty good. Did I mention it's malty?
