Crystal clear coloured golden body with a nice sized white head - much nicer than it’s ’special’ cousin. Aroma of fresh lemons, malt, hops and a bit of metal. Light-bodied; Funky malty flavour with no hops, sweetness or anything pleasant. Aftertaste shows metal and blandness - seriously, this one is water! Overall, definitely passable - don’t worry about picking this up, unless you really want a sub-par english beer! I sampled this 440 mL can purchased at Sainsbury’s in London (Fulham Broadway), England on 08-March-2008.

Amber coloured body with a very thin slightly off-white coloured head. Aroma of metal, light malt, english hops and a bit of toffee - nothing special. Medium-bodied; Strong malty flavour with some light hops and a metallic twang that lasts for quite a while. Aftertaste shows some light sweetness and a bit of hops - once again, nothing too pleasant. Very forgettable overall - not really worth trying! I sampled this 500 mL can purchased at Sainsbury’s in London (Fulham Broadway), England on 08-March-2008.

(bottle) Hazy, pale golden colour with a small blonde foamy head. Slightly sweet and yeasty malt aroma with light-fruity (citrus) and woody hoppy notes. Light-bitter flavour with soft sweetish edges, light to medium bodied with a moderate carbonation. Initially malty, slightly chalky and subtle fruity taste; moderately dry and bitter finish with citrousy and slightly herbal hoppy notes. Decent beer (05.03.08).

Copper coloured with a decent, off-white head. Slight fruity malt aroma. Smooth mouth feel for such a strong beer, with some malt flavour and a hint of earthy hop in the finish. Inoffensive - there are numerous more pleasant ales at far lower ABVs.

Big offwhite lasting head. Orange body with carbonation. Vague straw and metal aroma with perfumy notes. Dry watery perfumy caramel and malts taste; quite artificial. Mild and mellow, but mouthfeel is sharpish. No aftertaste. Boring, not very good. (0.5l can from Sainsbury’s.)

33 cL bottle. Pours dark brown with a lacing white head. Slight roasted aroma. Flavour is dry roasted malt, not with much sweetness though. Bitterness both from the roasted malt and the hops. Ends roasted malty and slight bitter in the finish. Nice.
