Very excited for this New brewery tick. Aroma is grainy with burnt caramel and berries. Dark gold. This foamy translucent white. Bitter. Grainy. Metallic. Gooseberry sharpness. Unsure malts. Light. Thin if slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry finish. Inoffensive weak stuff. The Brooklands branch.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up from the big local Tesco. Pours clear honey-gold-amber with a small off-white head that settles - quickly - into a creamy topping. Lightly sweet, a fair bit watery, some lightly toasted malts, grain, nips of leaves, caramel accents, a hint of paper. Light bodied with spritzy carbonation. Bland finish, vague impressions of lightly toasted malts, low bitterness. There's very, very little to this one.

Can from Tesco Supermarket, Blackley. Copper-amber with a thick head and a carbonation. There's just enough alcohol in this brew to give it enjoyability, albeit it's not that exciting with mild malts and a mild bitterness. Easy enough to sip though.

[44cl can from Tesco, Martins Heron.] An amber pour with a ring of off-white head; malty aroma; straightforward malty taste with some caramel and a touch of vegetal bitterness. Not great, but what do you expect at 25p a can?

Can thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - amber with orange chinks. Off white head that seems to fade fairly quickly. Nose - toffee and brown bread. Taste - more toffee, a little burnt. More bread. Palate - light bodied, generally thin and lacking bitterness. Overall - lacks bitters and body, like drinking clouds.
