Bottle from Tesco Danestone in Aberdeen. It pours clear golden yellow with a medium foamy white head and low to moderate carbonation. The nose is sweet malt, straw, hay and a hint of citrus. The taste is hay, straw, honey, pine, sweet malt, biscuit, citrus, white sugar and a little alcohol warmth, with a sweet malt finish. Ok, but unexciting.

Bottle as Marks & Spencer Organic Ale. Golden colour, medium white head. This is a great beer! Aroma is fresh hoppy, with fruits and spices. Flavour has sweet hops, lots of yeast, fruits and spices, with a solid malty backbone. Creamy and soft, tartness. Medium carbonated. Much like a Belgian ale. Well done.

500ml bottle as Marks & Spencer Organic Ale, purchased at a M&S store in Edinburgh. Golden brown body. Fast fading white head. Smooth smell of dried fruits and caramel malts. Some sweet marmalade in flavour with weak bitter ending. Foamy and quite fizzy in the mouth. Medium bodied [I finally managed to establish the identity of this one, which I consumed at our hotel room in Edinburgh,15.11.2008].

Bought as M&S Organic Ale. Amber coloured with a big, frothy off-white head that proved short-lived. Aroma of floral hops and orange fruit. Flavour of earthy malt, marmalade and peppery hops, with a moderately bitter finish. Fine.

50cl bottle as Marks & Spencer Oranic Ale. Slightly hazy amber with a thick off-white head; aroma has grass and citrus; fruity malt flavour, rather sweet; grapefruit zest and tartness to the finish which is sustained.

50 cL bottle. Pours cloudy yellow to orange with a white head. Light citrus fruity aroma. Flavour is sweet malty with a light citrus fruity note, minor though. Light malty and fruity finish. Easy to drink brew, nothing complex nothing wrong.

[bottled] Golden coloured with a large, frothy head. Sweet and sour aroma. Sour flavour with notes of plastic and cardboard. Is it impossible to make GOOD organic beer?

500ml bottle from Booths. It’s gold, with thin white head. Hoppy aroma. Some grassy hop, hay. It’s got some thing in the line of Summer Lightning. Too carbonated and a bit thin in malts too. Finish is too metallic. Alcohol doesn’t over do it.
