A bit thin but quite drinkable. Pint in The Albany, Twickenham before the England v Wales Six Nations match.

Cask at Royal Standard, Derby. Pours golden amber with a small foamy off-white head and good lacing. There’s hops and caramel in the aroma plus hints of orange peel. In the mouth it is quite sweet with a creamy texture but also a little underlying bitterness. Flavour has mixed hops, caramel and malts with traces of summer fruits and tangerine coming later leading to a slightly fruity finish. Not at all bad for Shepherd Neame !

0.5 l bottle. Pours clear golden colour with no head. Very slight aromas of some hops, malts combined with metallic notes. In taste it has the same characteristics with a short-to-medium lasting, bitter finish. Light body, lively carbonation. Way too thin and watery.

Ståfarget. Klar. Skumring. Aroma av kjeks & litt frukt. Smaken som aromaen. Balansert. Lett rørr bitter & fruktig avslutning.

Shared with Finn, half-pint. Clear amber coloured body, filmy layer, upper part lacing on the glass. Moderate smell of mid-sweet malts and ripe fruits. Decent malt-fruity flavours, hints of caramel and ripe fruits with a bite of leafy bitterness to the ending. Quite alright. (London, 11.02.2025).
