Northern Ireland, thanks Bruno V.! This hasn’t aged well but I can tell it was good once!

440ml can from KWM Wines: BB 31st January 2025. Drank at home on 3rd February 2024. My kind of beer! Poured a lovely clean and clear amber colour, the head a decent and lasting off-white crown. Resinous nose and initial taste, some sweet malt action follows and the hops take on a slight citrus fruit twist, but it's a great blend of semi-sweet maltiness and resinous hops that I really liked.

Bottle from Marks & Spencers, London. Dark amber with a head. Has a somewhat bland but drinkable fruitiness, with its strength hidden but providing a decent full body to the brew. Aroma has a mix of sugars and fruits.
