Clear brown beer, semi soft dry palate. Watery malt and then just a very light touch of hops. Watery minerally finish with a very mild bitterness in the aftertaste. Okay, just bland! Even by UK 4.2% bitter standards!!

bottle, bought somewhere in South Wales, probably Asda in Merthyr Tydfil. Clear amber-golden colour, mid-sized white head. Hoppy-fruity nose. Light-bodied with a good but shy malty base with some caramel, nice aromatic and bitter hops with a touch of lemongrass.

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has notes of butterscotch, malt, and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of caramel, malt, and flowery hops, leading to a bitter finish. The body is thin. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.
