Bottle from Morrisons. Oh look, it’s another Shepherd Neame caramel bomb. Moved on already.

25th May 2008. Mid brown ale. Dry and bitterish with a dusty and bitter hop finish. Not good!

50cl bottle. Pours a clear golden color. White head that lasts. Hoppy aroma, fruits. Caramel and hoppy flavor, nice and refreshing brew.

500 ml clear bottle, from Systembolaget, thanks to OleR! ABV is 4.5%. Deep golden colour, big white (possibly slightly off-white) head. "Skunky" aroma when opening the bottle, not unpleasant though. Nice hoppy aroma in the glass, grassy and slightly woody notes. Light mouthfeel, moderately hoppy flavour with hints of toffee. "Dusty" and moderately bitter finish. No masterpiece, but refreshing and highly drinkable.

50 cL clear bottle. Pours clear and golden orange with a huge off-white and creamy dense head. Mild earthy toned hops aroma with a light floral touch. Light malt base and a distinct bitterhops flavoured profile. Vague floral touch but distinct bitter and dry into the finish. Light floral note in the far finish.

Deep blond color, frothy head. The aroma is a bit soapy, and the flavor light and breadish. Too simple.
