Sweet toffee and honeyed twists, turns and loops combine with a concentrated wine-like fruitiness, feisty light rum, swirls of malt and decidedly ripe dessert apple richness.

Can from B&M, Sheldon, Birmingham. States that's it is brewed on behalf of BDI Limited, Malta so not sure if the brand has been sold on. Pours a clear gold, small white head, some retention. Standard. Aroma is sweet with corn and grain, light hop with spice. Taste is mainly sweet basic malt, corn and grass although there is a light tang and tingle of spice from the hop. Its not too bad for a macro lager.

[as Kestrel Premium Lager, ABV 4.6%] Lattina. Il gusto al naso viene attratto dall'orzo. La finezza olfattiva è normale e il modo in cui permane è sufficiente. Il manto birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma dalla buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di aspetto limpido. Il colore è giallo dorato brillante. Il corpo è rotondo. L'amaro è nella media. La forza gustativa è elevata e permane in maniera sufficiente. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di pronta beva. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. L'aroma in bocca porta i segni di miele, malto, frutta secca, erbaceo e agrumi.

Two 500ml cans, 'Born In Scotland' but brewed God knows where? Both had a BBD of 17th September 2022. Drank in the afternoon sun on my patio on 19th March 2022. Clean and clear golden body, snow white head (which departed pretty swiftly). Grainy front to the nose and taste, not much else going on to be honest.

[50cl can from B&M, Reading.] A straw coloured pour with a fast fading white head and moderate carbonation; sweet hay aroma; grassy taste with some honey; and a dry floral finish. Slightly above average for a macro lager.

Bottle from B&M, Rochdale. Pale golden-amber with a very thin head and a small carbonation. Has a regular lager sweetness in its taste with a little bit of alcohol in its aftertaste.
