500ml bottle from Sainsbury’s. Attractive bronze colour with white head, malty aroma and taste with a bitter chemical aftertaste. Not my cup of tea, or pint of bitter for that matter. [1/3/3/1/5=1.3] Re-rate: 500ml bottle from Waitrose. I thought I should give this another go, but it’s not much better - looks fine, has a deep malty nose that’s not entirely to my liking and has an artificial finish. [4/3/4/2/10=2.3]

Bottle picked up at Sainsbury’s, Kidlington, Sunday 13th August. Very clear brown amber coloured beer, bit of malt on the nose, nice toffee chewy taste to it which was very likeable, good maltiness, not as bitter as I was expecting but very decent session beer.

Cask@King’s Head, Bayswater, London. Golden color, not much head. Flowery hoppy nose (trefoil). Very flowery flavor too. Bitter aftertaste. Nothing special but refreshing enough for a hot summer day.

Cask handpull at Market Porter, Borough. Golden, with thin white head. Very much in the line of a golden ale aiming at the lager market. Bit of citrus aroma, bit of hay/hop. Bit creamy in mouth, then sharp lemon citrus finish. Not unpleasant summer blond beer. Lemon curd fruit on end is pretty good.

500ml bottle from Sainsbury. Chestnut colour with thin beige head. Standard English bitter. Some yeast, caramel and hop on the aroma. Some biscuity malt and some apple flavours. Even some nice darkish malts as well along the way. Perfectly acceptable.
