Bottle from Co-op, Addlestone, as Renegade Lager. Malty aroma with a citrus edge. Pale copper gold. Foamy translucent white head thins out. Medium bitter. Quinine edge. Sime sour citrus.Underlying malts add a cardboard element. Light bodied. Slick. Fizzy carbonation. Dry finish. It's OK and befitting from being served straight out of the fridge. But mixture if hops and malts just don't do it for me.

330ml bottle. Gushed a hazy medium to light amber colour with a big frothy white head. A serious gusher in fact and half the bottle was lost due to some serious secondary fermentation. The aroma is toffee caramel malt, woody hop. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a toffee, resin, light floral hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with very lively carbonation!

Keg at PoW. Have to strain the nose muscles in order to pick up the low key sweet hinting smokiness. Dark and glossy. Cola brown in the light. Creamy beige head. Suroisngly low key in terms of taste, possibly due to its temperature. Light bitter. Gains coffee some bite into the finish. A buzz of smokiness but not particulary evident. Thick bodied. Creamy. Average carbonation. Astringent finish in which the smoke is most evident. Makes me think of a Guinness on keg - nice enough but not overly interesting.

Gains more bitterness into the finish. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Flat carbonation. Dry finish. Drinkable juicy stuff.
