Bottle. Light amber color, average head that disappears quickly. Flavor was oh so slightly sweet that balances on almost just right and almost too much. Aroma was caramel, malty and light and watery.

Bottle from Tesco, Prestwich. Golden-amber with a carbonation and a bubbly head. Has lager style malts, certainly in its nose. Has a lightish orange flavoured fruitiness in taste.

Amber to light brown in colour. A fair amount of honey in the aroma. Some caramel too. Generic biscuity feel. Slight bittersweetness. Lacks depth.

Clear gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and semi dry and mildly crisp. Sweetish airy malts, some lactose. Fair amount of esters. Just a touch of citric hop. Dry finish. Messy! Meh!

Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a hazy amber color with a one finger-ed white foamy head that dies within about a minute and leaves some decent sliding lacing.
The smell had a burnt caramel maltiness running about it.
The taste was mainly malty but not exactly the most desirable, borderline bland.
On the palate, this one sits about a light to medium on the body with a decent sessionability about it.
Overall, last Roscoe’s to upload here and there’s nothing impressive about any of their beers. I don’t think their beers are bad, they’re just not something to really seek out.

Bottle from The Beerhive. Clear amber body with a thin white head that quickly fades. Steady carbonation. No lacing. Aroma of wet cardboard, honey and wood. Flavour is basically a corny Lager but with more musty sweetness. Sour metallic finish. Thin body with a watery texture. Soft fizz. A very dull beer - tastes like a poor homebrew. I couldn’t finish it.

355ml bottle from Tesco, Camberley. Amber with a loose, fast fading, white head; musty aroma with a trace of honey; honey flavour, but not too sweet, and with a soft biscuity malt body; then some light bitterness and warmth to finish.

355ml bottle from Morrisons - Nice amber body, lasting white head. Bit of a syrupy texture, and a little bitterness. Not too bad....
