Bubbly head, bronze-amber colour. Dark stone fruits and lively pale and amber malts - balance and complexity. Tastes a bit simpler, with a dash if caramel, diacetyl, and not as bright a hop character.

Terrible name, as most of them are. Realised whilst drinking it that I could make beer like this at home for about 30p a bottle. This cost me £2.90. Why? Pretty boring beer.

Aroma: Toffee, grassy and grain.
Appearance: Clear amber body with rose highlights. Small off-white head that fades very quickly. Average carbonation. Very light lacing.
Taste: Mild caramel flavour with herbal and citrus hints. The flavour isn’t very strong.
Palate: Thin body with watery texture. Soft carbonation.
Overall: Not great - pretty dull flavours and very thin.

50cl bottle thanks to the brewery. Pours a honey colour with a thin layer of lace. The nose has grassy and grainy notes with just a hit of citrus zest. The taste has lemon zest again with a nice grain background. The palate is light to medium bodied with a nice tangy texture and a clean refreshing finish. Overall, this is in between a pale ale and a bitter and is a good session pint - the sort that people in the local area should lap up but it’s not world beating.

Cask at Carpenter’s Arms, Windsor. It pours clear amber, with a medium white head. The nose is biscuit, orange, apricot, lemony soap, hay and a touch of manure. The taste is grass, biscuit, juicy tropical fruit (mango, orange and apricot), dough and hay, with a bitter, slightly citric finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Above average bitter with some nice tropical fruit notes.
