Before buying this check out the alcohol content, only 2.5%. I am drinking it because I am going out later and decided to review it while I drink it, before the Rugby. Brown 500ml bottle, best before Dec 2008, drank on Saturday 2nd Feb 2008. Poured into my bateman’s straight sided pint glass. Pale yellowish amber, weak and thin looking, bubbles rising up towards the white foaming head. Am I being unfair, how can I tell it is weak and thin just by knowing it is 2.5% and by looking at it? The aroma is hoppy and sweetish, nothing very strong though. It’s OK, the taste is of beer, alright it is weak but they have given it a good go and you can tell it is a beer in your hand. It is bitter and has sweet overtones. I can’t knock this beer, it doesn’t try and be what it’s not. Of course it is not going to blow your head off with flavours or make you fall over after half a pint. It is however a good low alcoholic ale. Ideal beer for the duty driver and well worth trying if you come across it.
