Bottle from ASDA, Keighley. Golden with a small carbonation. Nicely styled, fuller-bodied IPA without being overly praiseworthy.

Bottle from Asda. Deep gold in colour, with a slight, white, head that left plenty of lacing down the glass. Tired hop and sweet weetabix malt aroma. Flavour was better, with some sharp citrus fruits and robust malts, before a lingering, bitter, finish. Overall, an ok lager.

Bottle from Asda. It pours clear golden - amber with a small white head. The aroma is soft, sweetish, simple, toasty grain, bread and a touch of lemon. The taste is crisp, dry, quite soft, airy malts, grass, cereal, toasty grain and lemon with a dry finish. Light - medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. Simple, but we'll rounded and drinkable. Not bad for a lagerbier.

Cask at the Last Post, Southend-on-Sea, on 20th December 2017. Copper with shallow greyish foam an scant lacing. A distinctly sweet caramel malt aroma. Malty in-mouth with toffee and berry fruits. A lactic transient at the end of the liquid drain, followed by a sweet finish with just a hint of citrus. Light body and mouthfeel.
