Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers! Aroma of lots of malts, berries, pine, grass and hints of toffee. Taste of fruity, malty, bitterness. A bit earthy and grainy. Soft carbonation. Nice

Clear pale amber with a frothy white head and a honey sweet aroma. There's a sharp kick of hops and alcohol up front before it mellows out into a fruity, light malt bitter

Bottle from Aldi in Stafford – it’s not stocked by local branch. And 5% Pours a golden yellow with a small transient white head. Hard to detect an aroma – maybe some honey ? Floral hops in the mouth, with a touch of lemon and sweet toffee / fudge. Finish is more bitter. Reasonable and pleasant but not overly exciting.

Bottle bought from ASDA and drunk at home. 5% ABV. It pours a deep gold, clear with no head to speak of. The aroma is muted. I'm getting hay, honey and some light stone fruit, but I have to work for it. I like the taste: bittersweet with a bright hoppy bitterness in the back of the tongue. Dry finish with a touch of lemon rind in the aftertaste. Heavy carbonation, which really works for this beer. Quite moreish.
