Consumed in 2017 - Bottle from 6 pack selection box, Waitrose, Finchley Road, London. An amber/brown coloured pour with a thin white head on top. Hoppy, fruity, caramel aroma. Tastes fruity, caramel, similar to Fullers ESB.

Pours a quite hazy amber colour with about two fingers of pillowy white head; Pretty good retention and very nice lacing. Average intensity in the aroma, with nice malty depth (biscuity, toffee, lighter caramel) followed by rather vivid fruity notes of blood orange (mature, jam-like) with lighter citric hints. Taste notes follow the aroma closely, though lacking definition/precision. Medium sweetness and medium bitterness, both a bit amped up compared to style standard; good balance in the mouth and a not perfectly clean sweet edge in finish/aftertaste. Body close to medium, with light to medium carbonation; quite easy to drink as the style demands.

Can from The Beerhive. Hazy amber body with a thin off-white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of raisin, rust, tea and plum. Flavour of blood orange and cranberry. Thin to medium body with a slick mouthfeel. Soft fizz. Earthy and sharp - possibly a bit sharper than the Fuller’s version.
