Bottle from Tesco, Enniskillen [23113]
Amber, clear, frothy white head, some lacing
Aroma of soft honey, bit metallic
Taste of light honey, some metallic notes, light sweet pale malts, cardboard, corn, very little hop, very dull, tasteless for 5.5%, poor flavour
Palate - moderate carb, light body, touch oily, quite sweet. Not much of a finish, as main flavour
Overall - Very dull, bland, not ’craft beer’ at all, rubbish

Dirty, slightly cloudy brown....very short off-white head. Caramel, honey aroma. Taste is bready sweet....honey, toffee. Caramel malt...fruit syrup. Sweetness overpowers anything else this beer may have.... Not good.

Dark Amber, Good Bubbly Head Leaves Lots Of Lacing. Sweet Malt, Sweet Syrup, Honey. Too sweet, No Hops or bitter noticeable. Just OK for me and I would say skip it, although my wife liked it.

Clear pale copper color with a thin white head that dissipates quickly. Spotty lacing. Aroma of stale grain and a bit of skunk. Light-bodied with a rotten fruit character and notes of grainy malt and astringent hops. The finish is short and leaves an off fruit and malt aftertaste. Another poorly executed Roscoe’s beer.

Bottle as shown. Pours a clear amber color with a small quickly diminishing white head. The aroma is corn malt and wheat. Medium mouth feel with a bitter corn malt and honey flavor, not much going on with this one.

Bottle from a local Save Mart. Pours light amber with a foamy off-white head. Aroma reminds of a sweet pale lager. Near med body with foamy carb. Flavor is present - a little carmel, less hop. Craft beer imitation/rip off.
