A big old 500ml bottle from Sainsbury's I suspect. Clear gold, good white crown. Nicely crisp hop bitterness, teasing citrus.. for an AF version it's very decent.

500ml bottle. Clear amber gold with a white head. Aroma of citrus, grapefruit, hint of malt. Taste is citrusy, grapefruit, a little pale biscuity/nutty malt, nice hop bitterness. Medium-ish bodied for an AF beer.
While not at the top level of modern craft AF beer, it's a decent and respectable effort, especially for one in the supermarkets.

From a 500ml bottle on 7/1/2025. Pours like a macro lager - super clear lightish golden with a smallish head. The nose is lightly fruity with some lemony notes. The taste is fairly straight forward with lots of lemon and grapefruit. Finishes quite firmly, with more grapefruit, and some resin and pine. Fullish bodied with average carbonation. misnamed a double IPA, and there's no evidence of the promised bottle conditioned sediment. All up, a bit perfunctory, a touch rough, and not much more than a bare pass.

Drinkable stuff. Sweet and malty, not terribly complex. Some fruity notes, lightly toasted malts, a little leafy hop, soft caramel. Quite enjoyable, drinks well.

Creamy off white head on a still dark amber coloured body.
Caramel & malt aroma.
Medium bodied, smooth & creamy with a cloying back.
Toffee, make, caramel lightly sliced red berry tastes.
Nice enough.
gave a cheers!

Cask at the One and All, Penzance on 23rd December 2025. Clear copper with shallow off-white foam and travelling lace. Malty aroma. Rich and nutty maltiness in-mouth, and an equally malty finish. Smooth mouthfeel and a light to medium body.
gave a cheers!

Bottle from Waitrose and drunk as part of my no surprise advent calendar. Great pour. Quite flat in the glass but full of flavour. Rich malt, with well balanced bitter hops, a welcome and slight sweetness and a hit of alcohol. A really good beer. Very traditional and all the better for it.

Farge: Klar, kobberbrun med offwhite skum
Aroma: Karamell og sitrus med hint av granskudd i bakkant.
Smaker: Maltdreven med fint bittert spill i bakkant. Knekk, mørk sirup, grapefruktskall, stenfrukt og appelsinmarmelade. Middels kremete munnfølelse med god fylde.
En klassisk britisk IPA som den gamle ølentusiasten setter stor pris på. Mens han lurer på hvorfor det ikke er øltreff oftere for GGG; gretne, gamle gubber ;)
