Bottle from The Farm Shop, Gloucester M5 Motorway Services. Pours a clear light chestnut colour with a thin off-white head. Aromas of caramel, toffee and a touch of orange. Taste has more of the same notes again, lots of caramel, slightly buttery with some added toasty bread and floral hop. Thinnish body, fair carbonation and smooth oily mouthfeel. Quite tasty for the low abv.

Bottle from M5 Gloucester Services,, Gloucestershire. Dark amber with a head. Has an amber-ale style bitterness with hints of orange peel. Its lower strength makes it fairly crisp and certainly easy in the palate.

500ml bottle @ Itadiki Zen. Pours clear amber, medium off-white head. Malty caramel nose. Taste is predominantly malty, leafy, bitter with some caramel and a defined nuttiness. Not my go-to style of bitter I have to say but there's plenty here for those that appreciate it.
