Bottle from Deeside Drinks Emporium. It pours clear gold with a small white head. The nose is grainy, straw, odd sweetness,honey and grass. The taste is soft, grainy, sweetish, dirty water and hay with a short, dry finish. Light body and fine carbonation. Very basic stuff. Watery and not at all pleasant...

500ml bottle shared with Ash - Cheers! Pours black with a thin tan head. Aromas of coffee and dark chocolate. Taste is more coffee, not enough chocolate or lactic sweetness going on for me. Best of theirs tried today though.

500ml bottle shared with Ash - Cheers! Pours clear gold, thin white head. Aromas are biscuit and fruit. Taste has more citrus bitterness, but light, and a more caramel sweetness. OK, but not really APA.
