clear amber colour, moderate sized, creamy ecru head, which lasts for several minutes; aroma of unpleasant sweat, some roasted nutty and toasted rye bready notes; taste of toasted rye bread, roasted nuts, butterscotch and some hoppy bittery notes; easily drinkable - like a typical (not too sophisticated or good) bitter

8/9/2020. Bottle from Morrisons, Ipswich. Pours clear bright copper amber with a modest off-white head. Aroma of sweet caramel, malt, light fruit, biscuit and brown sugar. Medium sweetness and light metallic bitterness. Light body, oily texture, average carbonation. Weak sweet toffee water finish. Quite poor.

Pale amber with a frothy off-white head, and a sweet malty aroma with a metallic/earthy edge. As a whole it's a dry, bitter, caramel sweet mess to be honest, not quite sure what it's trying to be. Easy drinking and not distasteful, but somewhat anonymous if truth be told.

7/8/2020. Cask at the Ivory Peg, Chelmsford. Pours clear amber/bronze with a small bubbly off-white head. Aroma is malty, caramel, fruity, nutty. Moderate sweetness and medium bitterness. Moderate body, slight watery texture, soft carbonation. At £1.29 a pint I think I got what I paid for.
