Deep amber in colour, with a frothy, off-white, head. A malty bitter, with plenty of caramel, a few hops, vague toastiness and gently bitter finish. Ok.

50cl can thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - amber with a nice fluffy head. Nose - light ginger biscuit. So far so good, but light cardboard smell just lurking there. Taste - a suggestion of the toffee and biscuits and then it’s suddenly gone. Palate - light bodied and then almost finished before you’ve swallowed it. Overall - if I did adhere to some sort of maximum number of beers per day or week, this certainly wouldn’t count.

Golden with no head. A dour tasteless brew with a small sweetness rather than any real bitterness. Malt aroma.

Wässrig bitterer Antrunk, zum Ende trockener werdend. Laff, sehr langweilig. Trocken bitteres Ende ohne wirkliche Aromen. 9/6/7/5/5/5

99p for 4 cans from Sainsburys. Thin white head which disappears quickly. Clear amber pour. Not bad especially for the price

440ml can. Pours dark orange with a large, frothy head. Aroma is caramel and boiled sweets. Taste is a bit grainy, watery but not that bad. Little boiled sweets on the finish. Good mouth feel for the strength.

440ml can. Golden amber with a fast fading white head; caramel malt aroma; thin caramel malt flavour with some damp cardboard to finish. Not great, but what do you expect for 25p a can?
