Bottle. I've had a few Co-Op / Robinsons beers and they are usually disappointing. This one however is a very good bitter in my view. Not sure if it's been filtered but the flavours coming through are tasty and balanced. Look: Clear copper to orange brown with decent off-white head. Nose: Sweet malts, caramel, lemon, berries in aroma; inviting. Taste: is quite sweet with malts, caramel, hint of toffee, marmalade, fruit cake, light spice. Palate: Good body for a best bitter - light to medium, smooth, soft to prickly carbonation

500ml bottle bought at CO-Op, Leeds University Union. Clear brownish body, spotty lacing from a dissipating beige head. Berries, pale malts, and berry skins on the nose, inviting. Blended taste of blackcurrant, mild caramel malts, and a backdrop of leafy hops. Distant berry-fruit bitterness to the ending. Quite alright. (Student flat, Leeds 07.07.2022).

500ml bottle from Co-Op. A lazy chuck into the basket without much thought about it. Pours clear burnished amber, healthy off-white head. Stewed malt nose. Nicely sweet bitter, some caramel and mild marmalade notes. Medium bodied. Pretty good actually.

Large foamy off white head left a froth on a clear reddish brown slowly carbonating body. Spiced fruit, tea & bitter aroma. Medium bodied, bubbly over 5he tongue with a sharp back. Malt, caramel, toffee, spiced fruit & tea tastes with a bitter tangy finish. A great pint.

[50cl bottle from my local Co-op.] A bright copper coloured pour with a ring of cream coloured head; biscuity malt aroma; malty taste with fruit cake and a touch of spice; then a drier finish with a light bitterness. A pleasant bitter.
