Bottle from Sainsburys. Amber coloured with a slight head. Fruity malt aroma. Flavour started sweet with some caramel before a bitter, dry finish. Ok.

ruby coloured ale, a plain fruity light malt that while nice is nothing to be inspired by

Bottled. Pours clear, deep copper-colored with a small beige head. The aroma starts hoppy, then a nice maltyness comes through. The flavor is malty as well, with a metallic bitterness, and it finishes with malt and a nice hop-level. Thin-bodied, session-ale. A decent beer. (070216)

Bottle picked up whilst in Devon recently. Poured dark amber coloured nose was malty with just a hint of vanilla, taste was quite fruity but with good maltiness and vanilla detected again, and all this sweetened with a soft toffeeiness. Very nice beer but not as good as some of theirs.

(Cask at Oliver Twist, Stockholm) Copper colour with firm, foamy head. Nose is malty, fruity with a bitter-sweet hoppiness and hints of sewage (in a weird but nice way). Taste is fruity (hints of dried apricots) and malty with a metallic, earthy, bitter and dry finish. Complex.

Bottle: Amber orangey coloured, hazy, thin stable white foam; malty, fruity to vinous (sherry) nose, touches of hops and sulphur; taste is malty and fruity too with a faint herbal hoppiness, becomes drier and more bitter at the end, light bodied; quite complex ale, well rounded.
