Bottle. Amber with a slight white head. Aroma of sweet caramel with some tired hops. Flavour was of sweet fruit, almost marmalade like with an ok bitter finish. More evidence that pasteurised bitter is not a good idea.

500 ml bottle from Sainsburys. Golden amber with a short-lived white head; aroma of spiced orange; extremely fruity, with orange and tropical fruits; some hops evident at the start, but finish is rather sweet and cloying. Interesting, but too sweet overall for me.

Bottle, 5.0%. Citric aroma, old hops and green apple. Clear copper colour. Nice stable white head. The flavour is sweet with anis/mint feel. Sweet, malty and sewery. Weird and not very pleasant, even though it is not past BB date.

An orange beer with a lazing light brown head. The aroma is sweet and very fruity and flowery hoppy. The flavor is sweet and very fruity combined with a light floral hop note, leading to a bitter end with a caramel note lingering for a long time.

Bottled. Pours golden, with a decent off-white head. Malty and hoppy aroma with some sweet caramel-notes. A light aroma of yellow apples tries to hide in the background. The flavor starts, and lasts, with the apples, then theres malt and caramel, along with some hops. Medium, a bit dry, body. I finishes off quite fruity, and once again with yellow apples. A clean and crisp ale, but it doesn’t stand out from the crowd. (060626)

500ml bottle from Sainsbury. Copper colour with thin white head. Lemon/lime citrus and good resiney hop aroma. Unfortunately it is pasteurised and there is a bit of boiled sweet. Just a bit dull in mouth, before a good hoppy citrus finish. Starts well, finishes well, it’s just the bit in the middle that lets it down.
