Bottled. Clear, golden with a dense, white head. Malty aroma with some fruityness and alcohol. Alcohol-saturated flavor with malt, fruity hops and thats it. Seems like the ABV is the goal with this beer, but it shouldn’t be necassary to let it be this pronounced. Warming and medium to thin mouthfeel, and the alcohol comes through in the finish as well. Drinkable but not too successful. (060815)

500ml Bottle from Sainsbury’s 14-04-06. Nice clear golden appearance and for a pasterurised beer not too bad , pretty good bitterness and the hops are quite present throughout, quite easy drinking despite the abv and a reasonably decent beer all told.

Bottled. Deep golden, small head. Fruity and syrupy, sweet with rounded mouthfeel. medium bodied with notes of metal and honey as well as some grassy hops. Fails to catch my interest.

Bottle. Did not expect much after the Osprey by the same brewery but this was different. Copper colour with sulphur and citurs hop nose. Some caramel and then a long dry hop citric finish.

Golden colour, white head. Wheat-aroma, like a pilsener. Little salty flavour, quite flat.
