50cl bottle from Tesco, Camberley. A golden amber pour with a tight cream head; rich malty aroma; a thick, buttery, caramel, malt taste; but with the alcohol very obvious in the finish, despite the relatively low ABV. Iโm not impressed.

500ml bottle @ the 2nd Shrewsbury Bottle Share, courtesy of Luc. One of the bottles we didnโt quite finish last time. Pours a browny gold, crisp citrus, biscuit malts with a caramel hue. Drinkable session beer.

500ml Bottle: shared between four at the second ever Shrewsbury Bottle Share on 24th Feb 2014, cheers Luc for bringing it. This is my fourth beer from these guys and they have all been better than OK so far, this didnโt hurt their reputation either. Pours a pleasant light amber colour with head that is almost white, if a little thin in places. A slightly more malty nose than hoppy, some subtle fruitiness with a caramel undertone to the aromas. The taste is also leaning towards the malty side although there is a drying finish to each sip. Semi-sweet biscuity feel to the flavour with some caramel loitering about as well. Touches of a citrus nature calm the malts down and help to balance the beer somewhat, an easy drinking brew that helped the evening to flow nicely.

Cask at Chapel Beer Festival. Slightly hazy gold beer. Smells a little sulphurous. Light crisp palate. Some sulphur but itโs overwhelmed by sherbetty lemon and pineapple fruits. Finishes crisp and dry. Good - could have been great without the bad eggs!
