500ml bottle: BB 20th Apr 2022. Found and drank at my parents house on 23rd Jun 2021. Clean and clear golden body, swiftly departing white head. Grassy hop nose, malty front to the taste. Fine quaffing ale and a good easy start to my mini holiday down in Devon.

£1.00 at Tesco, Brookland. Aroma of citrus over eggy sweaty plimsols. Copper gold. Thin translucent white head. Medium bitter. Citrus and guanine. Underlying sugar edge over a further undering boiled veg core. Light bodied. Thin. Fizzy carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. They've attempted to get a hoppy AF beer but that does not adequately madk the trad sweaty boiled veg not quite right result that AF beers tend to deliver.

Panda at home, thanks to SHIG, 20/01/21. Blast from the past ... drank a lot of the relatively whelming but inoffensive BB when I lived in Wolvo, particularly down the Clarendon Arms (brewery tap). Golden amber with a decent white head. Nose is dusty fruits, hint of toffee apple, toasted grains, modest malt aromas, biscuit. Taste comprises biscuit malt, light apple core, toffee, dried fruits, grains, faint tea leaves. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a modest bitter nip. Passable for the style.

500ml bottle: BB 30th Sep 2021. Drank at home on 21st Nov 2020. Pale orange body, fast fading white bubbles on top. Mild hop and grainy aroma and taste. A bit 'fizzy' and pretty boring really. Slight hop bitterness, but it's not a great low alcohol brew.

Bottle and I can't recall where purchased. I was hoping for a Marston's West Midlands rating but instead got a new region in Virginia US, happy enough with that! Pours dark gold, small white head, good retention. Aroma of hoppy citrus, earth, grass. Taste is hoppy bitterness from the off with an earthy citrus, a little chewy. Biscuit malts then come to the fore before the bitterness builds for the finish with a grassy note. Very much an American-English IPA hybrid, does it work? Not quite with this one although its fine. It has elements of a watered down Marston's Barley Wine Gold which is neither good nor bad.
