[500ml can at my Dad’s] Large creamy head that dissipates very quickly. Didn’t taste too much like a canned bitter. Quite sweet, slightly malty, a hint of earthy hops, but mainly tastes weak, watery and brown. A nothing beer, like they’ve taken a "proper" beer and watered it down. As a result, went down very easily, leaving no trace of an aftertaste! I guess you get what you pay for...

Amber coloured body with a very thin slightly off-white coloured head. Aroma of metal, light malt, english hops and a bit of toffee - nothing special. Medium-bodied; Strong malty flavour with some light hops and a metallic twang that lasts for quite a while. Aftertaste shows some light sweetness and a bit of hops - once again, nothing too pleasant. Very forgettable overall - not really worth trying! I sampled this 500 mL can purchased at Sainsbury’s in London (Fulham Broadway), England on 08-March-2008.

Can. Had this courtesy of a friend whilst at Towersey Festival, even though I’ve had this before it was a bit of a blast from the past, Sainsburys have been churning this one out for years now. Some fruit on the nose, smells and tastes a little bit better than the normal stuff, still a bit metallicy but I’ve never been keen on beers in cans.
