6.4/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 7.5
Bottle at home. Clear, amber-gold with a fading, white head. Sugary nose with doughy malts and some sharp, leafy hops. Pretty sweet flavor, grainy, some hints of alcohol, mild, basic bitterness. Light bodied with average carbonation. Crisp, bready finish, faintly sticky leaf and straw bitters. Decent.

500ml bottle. Pours gold with a large head. Aroma is grapefruit, orange and pale malt. Taste is grapefruit and pale malt to start, bitter citrus finish. Good level of carbonation but a bit of a thin ending.

Bottle from Sainsburys. Golden with a decent, but short-lived, white head. Sweet caramel (boiled sweet) aroma, with some floral hops playing second fiddle. Similar sweet malts in the flavour, with some citrus hops and a long dry finish. Good.

Bottle, picked up at Somerfield, Leominster. Decent crisp and hoppy beer, not too sweet and reasonable bittereness, quite pleasant.
