[Dad shared a bottle with me - cheers!] Amber, negligible head, with a horrible thin, very prickly fizz dominating the watery mouthfeel. Flavourwise, there’s caramel to the fore, slight citrus & floral hints, and a moderate mineral bitterness to finish. Ruined by the carbonation; presumably better on cask. 6/167

Bottle. Clear deep golden to amber color with a small white head. Aroma of a bit of slightly earthy hops, malt, light graininess and light fruitiness. Flavor has a bit of thin malt sweetness, and later some slightly metallic and slightly earthy mild hop bitterness. Light-medium-bodied. Drinkable.

Pale looking bitter. Some toasted malt in the aroma. Texture is rather thin and watery but this is an easy to drink, thirst quenching bitter.

Bottled (from Beers Of Europe). Amber colour, small head. Aroma is not too much, some mild malts and hops (duh! surprise, but really, nothing to get in there). Flavour is some malts, rather bitter vegetably hops. Not that pleasant in any way.

Can. An amber beer with a thin orangey head. The aroma has notes of caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and caramel, leading to a bitter finish.

500ml bottle from Lidl. Why do British brewers pasteurise? I can smell it a mile off. The promise of empty malts and boiled sweets. Some hop on the aroma. Its a dull bitter due to all life being boiled out of it. Some hop bite on the finish. Just so boring. Some Banks yeast.

500ml bottle. Pours a deep golden with a small, non-lasting head. Aroma is bready malt. Fruit and biscuity malt to start. Fruity, medium bitter finish. Quite full in the mouth for the low abv. Avoid the can, go for the bottle or better on cask.
