330ml bottle into pint glass. Golden amber beer with a two finger crown of white foam. High carbonation. Nose is subdued caramel malt. Light bodied, smooth texture. Certainly fits into the English Bitter style, hardly any flavour but lots of malt in the finish.

Tap. ABV 4.9%. Aroma of caramel, kumquat, some pine. Rather plain caramel malt side that’s not oversweet with decent fruit and pine hop notes and a finish that lens towards bitter. Plain, robust, gluggable.

Bottle. Poured hazy to cloudy amber / brown with some white head. The aroma was distinctly bananas. The palate was light and fizzy. The initial flavour combined lemons, bananas, pear drops, bread and gave way to a reasonable hoppy bitterness. A pleasant wheat beer.

Bottle. Poured hazy amber with little head. The aroma was hoppy floral. Medium bodied with great carbonation. The flavour has a complex start with fruit, flowers, bread giving way to a hoppy bitter finish. Rather too bitter in the finish.
