Canned (in 2007 or 2008)@Chris O. thanks to harrisoni for bringing this to chriso’s pre-gbbf tasting 2% alcohol, notes say Sainbury’s Lager. Pale golden colour, small white head. Aroma is malts, some grainy and slightly metallic notes in thhe aroma. Flavour is being quite much the same. Actually not totally horrible brew, but quite darn close to it

Bottled. A dark amber beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of malt, Wychwood yeast, and fruit. The flavor is sweet with notes of caramel, fruit, nuts, and yeast - typical for Wychwood, leading to a bitter finish. Thanks fonefan for sharing.

Pale gold with slight carbonation. An inoffensive cider, with medium apple fruit before a sweetish finish. Not memorable, but not unpleasant either.
