Bottle. Aldi. Clear amber with a dense near white head that lasts well. Aroma of toasted spicy bread, orange peel, pine. Moderately sweet; a little chewy with less citrus than suggested by the aroma. And less bitterness too. When did this sort of thing start being called amber ale instead of bitter? It's OK but I wanted it to snap a bit more at the end.

Bottle, Aldi. More amber than gold with a small white head. Marmalade-like citrus aroma with some boiled sweets and light biscuit. A fair bit of body for 4%, moderate carbonation. Clean and moderately sweet with citrus and enough bitterness to keep you interested. Not bad at all.

440ml can. Poured a clear golden colour with a very short-lived fizzy white head and lots of bubbles. The aroma is big lemon lime and some bready yeast. The flavour is moderate sour, with a light, crisp, light tart, juicy lemon citrus palate. Medium to light bodied with lively initial carbonation. A little one dimensional but it is what it says on the tin.

Black beer, thick tan head. Smells exactly as you'd expect from the description - nutty salted caramel. Flavour follows suit with a sweet caramel hit up front a little salt, the nut comes through after with a little chocolate and toasty malt. Rich and smooth and pretty tasty with a nice praline finish.

500ml bottle and my 500th England rating. Ruby-brown colour, small off white head, nice retention. Aroma of chocolate, roast, raisons. Taste is fairly sweet, malty, stone fruits, toastiness. Surprisingly has a light refreshing quality to it. Dry moderately bitter finish. Good.
