Bottle 0,5ltr: Clear amber coloured beer with an hoppy, grapefruit and citrus taste, in this case not a good combination for me.

Bottle from Sourced Market, St Pancras, been looking for this beer for some time as I didn’t believe it existed. Clear amber colour thick amber head. Not as horrific as some Sheps bottle beers. Some pepper hop on aroma, some malt fruit and some sheps yeast. Bit too much toffee. Some white pepper hop on finish. Maybe a touch too sweet and a touch empty. Not as badly filtered as some previous beers. Decent hop on the finish.

Familiar sour, soapy bitterness in the distinctive Shepherd Neame style. Has a lingering bitterness.

Clear 500ml bottle: best before May 2013, drank on 26 July 2012. Light amber body with a thin white wisp and collar. Hops rule the aroma and taste: floral and citrus in the nose a little more balanced with malts in the taste. Flavours roll around the mouth but it all seems superficial and artificial. This is not unlike a host of Shepherd Neame supermarket brews and isn’t a great advert for the brewery: good job it was cheap.

Copper colour. Aroma gives off a real scent of fresh hop buds. Flavour has a slight caramel, malty sweetness then refreshing hop. Very dry finish and a slightly metallic aftertaste. A 4% alcohol bitter that is refreshing and delivers plenty of flavour.

Bottle. Amber in colour with a decent, off-white head and a large amount of carbonation. Bready, malt aroma with a touch of grassy hop and hedgerow fruit. Flavour had more of the same malts, a hint of nettle and metallic, bitter finish. A challenge to finish.

50cl bottle picked up in Hastings. Amber with a billowing cream head; typical Shep nose with a touch of sweet citrus; sweet, almost sickly taste, with some flabby malts; and an insipid bitterness to finish. Not Shep’s best.
