Glass bottle to increase the chance of the product being spoiled. Nose is nutty, carmael, slightly acidic. Taste is lemony, malt, caramel, red current, slight grapefruit bitterness, faintly acidic. Aggressively carbonated. I am sure it's the best Green King beer I've had.

Bottle from Home Bargains, Byfleet. Aroma is sweet, malty, gluey, a slight sour edge. Clear medium brown. Thick fluffy foamy white head. Sweet, gluey, caramel malty stuff with underlying saccharine. A vague hint of quinine bitterness. Nutty finish. Light bodied. Thin. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long somewhat astringent finish. It's not great but it is warming.

500ml clear bottle. Pours clear amber, small white head, little retention. Aroma is biscuit malts, light citrus, floral hops. It didn't seem light-struck but then it was on the bottom shelf of the supermarket. Taste is malty, biscuit, grapefruit, citrus zest, nuts, semi-sweet. Moderate body and low to moderate carbonation which is fine. More flavoursome that I was expecting for a Greene King brew, quite enjoyable.

Bottle from , err I forget ! Aroma of malts, with a hint of fruit. Pours a rich reddish orange with virtually no head. Malts and biscuits and corn in the mouth. Hops are there too if you look, plus traces of lemon. Finish is long and bitter. Not bad – better than the standard version anyway.

“Greene King IPA Reserve“, Flasche aus dem Potonggang Department Store, Pjöngjang. Möglicherweise das erste IPA, das es nach Nordkorea geschafft hat. - Dunkles Kupferrotbraun, klar. - Unrunde Nase. - Antrunk kernig und warm toastmalzig mit Karamel aber wenig süß. Gediegen hopfenwürzig-krautige Herbe mit feiner Pampelmusenschale und Anklängen an Tabak. Milder rezent, vollmundig, trocken. Im Abgang nicht allzu kräftige aber aromatische Hopfenherbe. Eine unschöne holzig-leere Bittere im Nachtrunk ist vielleicht die Folge des langen Transports, den feinere Aromen nicht unbeschadet überstehen. - Durchaus trinkbar.
