Earthy malts, a touch of grassy hop but marred by the boiled sweet and wet cardboard notes so common in English bottled beers. Poor.

Bottle that my dad got and shared with me at home 03.01.12 Pours golden with a white head, looks glorious maybe clinically gorgeous but gorgeous all the same. Soft in the mouth, very slight metallic and mineral edge, touch dry, bit like a lager which I guess is the hops and yeast? I quite like this. A6 A5 T7 P4 Ov12 3.4

Bottle at Pat’s chriso tasting, London. Pours clear gold with a fine, white head. Wet straw nose, some crunchy grains. Medium sweet flavor with some lightly bitter hay, light cereal. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Mild dryness to finish, some sweet cereal, lingering bitterness. Pleasant enough beer overall.

50cl bottle from Sainsburys. Amber with a lasting, billowing white head; sweet grainy aroma; soft grainy flavour with some light carmael; and a good handful of Hallertau hops giving a long, lightly spiced finish. Very drinkable.

Bottle from Sainsburys. Clear gold lasting thin white head. Yeasty estery aroma. Tasty and drinkable. Good yeast character fullness in mouth from the wheat and then a fresh hallertau biting finish. Niw thus I quite like. Yes I would buy it again if I was in a Sainsburys with nothing else I fancied. Good yeast and good finishing hop.
