Bottle from Sainsbury’s. Clear deep golden body with a thick off-white head. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of straw, salted bread and waxed lemon. Flavour of green banana and orange sherbet. Medium body with a slick mouthfeel. Light fizz. This is a decent beer with a good level of hops; there’s a nice salted lemon vibe.

Sainsbury's Own, Night In Trio Of Ales#3. The darkest of the three this evening, and it's very dark in colour, but not quite black. A spiced winter warmer, with a light spiciness, its taste is dominantly cake-like in design. The most regular part of the porter-style is to be found in aroma.

Sainsbury's Own, Night In Trio Of Ales#2. A little bit darker this time, and it is a darker amber coloured beer. Traditional in design, there's a few fruity caramels in here, which do linger in its aftertaste, but not enough to escape being quite a dull effort with a light bitter character. There's a lot better winter warmer ales around in style too.

Sainsbury's Own, Night In Trio Of Ales#1. The lightest of my three choices tonight and it's a good hoppy session to start. Slightly darker golden it has an easy, smoothish slick texture. Its hop is perhaps not at its most fruitiest in this instance, and a more dominant light-bitterness exists, but this is flavoursome enough, with a modicum of citrus in its background.
