Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up from the local Sainsbury’s. Pours clear copper-gold with a creamy, off-white topping. Lightly sweet with notes of sun-baked malts, grass, crispy pine, dirty hay. Light bodied with average carbonation. Bitter finish, light dried resin, more grassy hops, sun-kissed malts. Very decent old-school IPA.

500ml bottle. Pale copper in colour, with a thin, off-white, head and moderate carbonation. Aroma of red berries, caramel and root ginger in the background. Flavour had more caramel upfront with a hint of strawberry sweetness and some vanilla oak. The ginger again came through with some late in the day spicy warmth before a moderately bitter finish. An interesting and subtle use of ginger.

500ml bottle. Pale copper in colour, with a thin, off-white, head and moderate carbonation. Aroma of red berries, slightly toasted malts and orange peel, with some leafy hops. Flavour has some more fruity sweetness upfront, with robust, almost earthy, malts some spicy complexity and a lingering, bitter finish with yet more jammy fruit. A very good supermarket beer.

Randomly delivered with the Sainsbury's online shop. It pours darkest brown to black with a khaki head. The aroma is earthly roasted malt, bitter - sweet, coffee grounds, chocolate, perfumed orange and Terry's chocolate orange. The taste is firmly dry, bitter, earthy roast, burnt toast, charred, cacao nibs, chocolate bourbons, slightly ashy, orange peel, waxy rind, campari and peppery spice with a bitter toasty finish. Average body and carbonation. Not sweet at all, more bitter and fragrant. Ok.
