A typical English ale not brewed at the original place. Not bad with a low carbonation, beautiful copper body, clear with a thin and white foam. This one is watery, light with some toasted malt, few note of toffee, a bit fruity, mineral, English hop. 30.03.2022, drinking it in Sevilla Este with Mariella

0.5 l can @ Mijas, purchased in a random Carrefour. Pours deep orange with thin, ehite head. Nose is toffee and caramel. Taste is the same, with hints of alcohol and slight metallic notes. Short bittersweet finish, light body, soft carbonation. Lacks the biscuits-y notes, otherwise not bad.

500ml can.
copper pour with a fluffy tan head. Great aroma of caramel malt, and some nice goldings hops. Flavour is smooth, and the malt is the first note. Nice rich caramel, with a great bitter hop bit in the finish. Wow, i’m really ejoying this, excellent stuff.

Can, 50cl Systembolaget. Clear amber with a warm white foam, dissipates fairly quick with lacings left on the glass. Nose is pretty rich with malt, toffee, caramel and apricot. Taste is black currant notes beautifully balanced on a malty ground, slight bitter and wattery in the finish. Small tiny bubbles, oily texture - well made.
