Pint at The Tide Inn, Weymouth - Pours a clear amber colour with a small lasting creamy off-white head. Aroma is malty, caramel and fruit. A moderately sweet taste, grainy malt, caramel and fruit with a bitter finish. A bit bland, lacking depth of flavour.

Bottle thanks to Nick. It pours clear deep amber - brown with a small white head. The nose is cardboard, damp leaves, paper, grainy, soda water and toffee. The taste is grainy, cardboard, toffee, chewy, water, murky water, burnt cracker, with a dry, watery finish. Light body and fine carbonation. Tepid and watery brown beer water.
