330ml bottle from Microbar, Manchester. Tastes like a very weak Belgian wit or saison.. light, verging on non-existent wheat taste, like a budget supermarket alcohol-free lager. Just took another sip trying to pick something out but everything seems to have disappeared ghost like into thin air. Extremely disappointing, especially considering this is my first from this brewery.

Clear golden color, small white head. Strong diacetylic butterscotch aroma. Medium-bodied. Crisp carbonation. Diacetyl is not so bad in the flavor, but it is there. Slightly wheaty, light hoppyness in the finish. Because of diacetyl, it is not easy to see if this has potential. My first one from By The Horns brewery.

Bottle at the By The Horns brewery on 7 September. Poured a clear pale golden colour with a scummy white head. Aroma of white grapes, tart fruit and a slight soap note. Flavours of candy sugar, coconut and slight musk. Finishes with grains, wheat and boiled sweets.

330ml bottle. Clear orangey golden colour with small to average, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Unpleasant clammy strawy aroma, some lemon. Taste is equally strawy, some lemon and lime, dry, soapy. Insipid, brackish.

Bottle from Oddbins London Bridge. Clear gold with very thin white head. Slightly buttery slightly estery aroma. More or less a standard golden ale in the mouth with a little bit of butter. It’s clean, but just a bit bland to be honest. Not great condition. Bit too clean.

Bottle at home in London with Lyoli - picked up this bottle at Oddbins London Bridge. Pours perfectly clear, rich honey-gold with a slight, creamy white head. Aroma holds buttery biscuits and slight caramel, some doughy bread. Medium sweet flavor, lightly syrupy, some caramel, buttered biscuits, some hay, hints of toasted straw. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet malty finish, lightly toasted bread, still some dough, a bit more caramel. In it’s sugary simplicity it is enjoyable, but it’s not a great beer.
