Bottle from Bradley Villa Farm Shop, Huddersfield. Brown coloured brew with a very thin head. Malty and mildly sweet in this respect, there's also a denser grittiness about the brew. A decent winter warmer with a low spiciness.

Bottle from ASDA, Telford. Golden with a very thin head. Mainly a hoppy golden ale, with the gluten free element giving it some mild malty undertones. It's quite a sweet tasting brew too.
