Bottle from Asda, Sheerwater. Aroma is malty, with a fruity sweetness. Light brown. Thin frothy translucent white head promptly retreats. Sweet with a sour edge. Berries and, as I spotted in a previous rating, it is indeed metallic. And gluey. Light-medium bodied. Thin but slick. Average-soft carbonation - to its benefit. Long slightly astringent finish. Pretty basic stuff.

Bottle for £1 in Asda. Pours a clear light amber, small head, some retention. Ok Aroma is toffee, biscuit, fruit and herb hops. Quite promising. Taste is slightly watery but does have some distinctive flavours such as caramel, biscuit, orange, slight resin, lager grain note, moderate bitterness in the finish. Quite tasty but could up the flavours a notch. Light to moderate body, slight oiliness on the palate and moderate carbonation. Its fine Overall quite a nice session bitter. It probably is nothing like the original but I can only review on this beer and its fine and good value.

Bottle from Asda. Deep amber in colour, with a thin, off-white, head. A malty beer, with some caramel, leafy hops, and a pleasantly bitter finish. Fine.

500ml bottle kindly shared by Richard. Clear warm golden body, filmy layer, spotty lacing. Restrained aromas of dusty hops. Blended taste profile of grass, and mid-sweet malts with a caramel touch. Moderate bitterness to the ending. Average, more or less. (Worcester 27.06.2019).

Amber colour with thin head. Aroma and flavour have some toasted malts. Not as pungent as it used to be. Nice historic ale though.

Keg (not nitro) halfpint at Beaumont House, Dublin. Served very cold. Deep golden to brown colour, white head. Moderate aroma, some malts. Dry flavour with some bittering hops, lacks depth or complexity.

Bottle. Dark amber coloured. Decent head with lots of lacing. Mild aroma of nuts, malts, toffee and honey. Taste is malty, slighty nutty and a dose of honey. Toffee and Sulphur. Aftertaste shows some hops. Medium to strong carbonation. Creamy. Not outstanding but nice and easy.

A very drinkable and tasty pale ale that I have thoroughly enjoyed. Good flavour and a surprisingly nice mouth feel for a canned beer.
