750ml bottle. Deep gold in colour, with a slight, white, head. Aroma of marmalade, tangerines, spice and yeasty grains. Flavour started sweet, with more citrus character, candy sugar and spices, with a slightly herbal edge and warming, boozy, finish. Very good.

Bottle from Sainsbury's Supermarket, Salford. Hazy pale pink in colour. Both its lemon and raspberry are evident, coming across very sugary and sherber-like in design.

Bottle from Sainsburys. Label: 5% abv brewed and bottled by Hall & Woodhouse, Dorset, England. Pours a clear brown/bronze colour with a medium sized off-white head. Aromas of figs, fruit cake, caramel and sweet jam. Taste is similar notes, malty with a decent enough balance between the sweetness and mild bittering hops. Very thin watery mouthfeel with light but soda like carbonation. It tastes pleasant enough but a far from refined beer.
