500ml bottle from Drewton's Farm Shop, drunk at our lodge in Skirlaugh. Deep reddish brown appearance, good off-white head. Taste presents nice moist fruitcake and light gingery hints. Medium bodied. Pretty decent

Bottle at home in Hackney - sourced from the Trembling Madness online. Pours clear russet with a frothy, khaki head. Not bad overall, holds toasted grains, mild sweetness, some British yeast, a smattering of semi-ripe berries, light leafy bitterness. Light bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Lightly sweet finish with more toasted malts, low bitterness, fruity accents. Drinks alright.

Bottle from Marks & Spencer, Halifax. Very lightly hazed copper-amber with a thin head. It's a grainy-malty bitter with a low bitterness and surprisingly some activity in the palate. Has a somewhat grainy nose too. It's tasty enough without being spectacular.

Marketed via a Marks & Spencer issue, this is a deeper golden coloured ale with an initial frothy head. It’s got a good body but also a fair bitterness to it which makes up a greater part of its character. Has a slight roasted aftertaste.

It looked pleasant and there was no real aroma coming from the tankard. The flavour was that of a basic bitter, light biscuit malt, a lick of bitter hops and that was about it. A nice mouthfeel from the malt and a very short flavour. It's a session bitter and was pleasant to drink. That's about all I can say.

Bottle at home picked up from the Watford M&S. A clear amber copper coloured pour with a lasting thin beige head. Aroma is sweet toffee and nutty malts, little buttery biscuit. Little bread and butter pudding on the nose as well. Flavour is composed of twiggy malts, woody toasted toffee, dried fruits, strawberry shortcake, little vanilla. Decent English yeast character. Palate is semi sweet, moderate carbonation, little mineral in the finish.
