500ml bottle from Sainsburys. Orange with a dense white head; aroma of dusty hops and stewed malt; soft and sweet at first with perhaps a touch of honey, then developing a stale bitterness. Not very pleasant.

50cl bottle. Amber color. Malty and fruity taste (citrusy) and a nice touch of pine. Found it to have a nice caramel touch. Drinkable and not bad at all.
