500ml bottle: BBE Oct 2020. Poured down the drain on 4th Oct 2020. Obtained from a local Lidl. Christ, what a shit show! Infected with something and undrinkable. I hate it when this sort of thing happens!

Bottle from Lidl. Hazy amber in colour, with a short-lived, white, head. Aroma of peanuts, with some dry straw and hint of marmalade sweetness. Flavour had grainy malts, more orange character and some roasted peanuts in the finish. Odd.

Bottle from Lidl. Cloudy orange gold, small white head with minimal retention and no lacing. Aroma or peanuts, grain and a lemon sharpness. Taste follows the same pattern. Moderate to high carbonation and fairly light body. Fairly bitter undercurrent mixes with a sour lemon note. As first reviewer mentioned I don't really get any 'butter' notes, just peanut. I disagree with the previous review, I think the peanut flavouring is spot on, not too subtle and not too overbearing. I'm still trying to get my head around how it fits with the rest of the beer. Peanut and sour citrus notes? I actually like it, oddly. Its very different.

50cl bottle from Lidl. thick white head. Hazy golden pour. Very nutty. A bit too much. I would dial down the nuts a bit next time.
