You’ve tried real ale. And you might think you know what real ale tastes like. But don’t be so shore. This is real exciting real ale. Columbus, Mosaic and Citra come together to give a light fruitiness and a balanced bitter finish all brought together with a lightly toasted biscuit and caramel aroma. Real ale like your grandad’s never tasted. This is punked up proper ale.

nutty very malty aroma. some hoppy balance but not much flavor is run-of-the-mill european amber ale with a bit of ESB hopping to keep it alive. fair and drinkable and in some ways an interesting way to interprent ESB.

Can thanks to Silke. Amber with a frothy, white head. Gentle caramel and bread aroma. Taste is mildly bitter with faint citric hints at the finish. Medium-bodied, moderate carbonation. Mildly watery texture. Simple, easy-going stuff.

Can from BrewDog online and drunk on a train. Clear amber colour lasting cream head. Slightly malty slight sweet amber ale with a little dusty hop on the finish. I mean it's fine. No bad flavours. Light toffee flavour. Some bitterness on the finish. Yes inoffensive enough. Fine

Bottle from Waitrose, West Byfleet. Aroma has grains, spice, resin. Opaque amber. Creamy foamy white head. Light-medium bitter. Grainy. Spice. Wood. Peripheral citrus. Underlying. Although, to be honest, probably served too cold. Light. Slick. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Old school BrewDog contribution.
