50cl bottle from Alfred the Grape, Marlow. Reddish copper with a fast fading white head, and lots of carbonation to start; nutty, earthy, aroma; soft in the mouth, with some red fruit and a woody bitterness; before a dry finish. Mellow, and very drinkable.

50cl bottle from Alfred the Grape, Marlow. An attractive golden amber colour with a rapidly vanishing white head; citrus aroma with a touch of spice; sweet caramel malt taste with some citrus and spice; and a dry fruity finish with a caramel after taste. A soft and pleasing bitter.

50cl bottle from Alfred the Grape, Marlow. An attractive bright amber colour with a loose white head; fresh grapefruity aroma; grapefruity taste with a full grainy body with a touch of sweetness; then a leafy, fresh, bitterness, with a touch of spice lingering in the long finish. A really good, refreshing, summer beer.
