330ml bottle. Clear, yellow-ish, pale golden colour with small, frothy, fading, white head. Weak, pale malty and slightly hoppy aroma, a grainy and citrusy touch. Taste is watery, pale malty and slightly hoppy, minimally piney and citrusy. Watery texture, indifferent palate, medium, soft carbonation. Light, watery, anaemic - boring.

Floral and minimally fruity, hoppy aroma, hints of gooseberry, whiffs of chamomile, mellow malty background. Taste is moderately bitter, floral and minimally fruity hoppy, pale malty without residual sweetness, a touch of chamomile. Oily texture, smooth and soft palate, medium, mildly prickly carbonation. Nothing spectacular - decent.

330ml bottle: BBE Jan 2022. Drank at home during a random tasting session with myself on 19th Mar 2021. Full on golden body, clean, clear and bright; Fast fading white crown on top. Malty feel to this one, semi-sweet Lager and not too shabby to be honest.

Have boycotted Sadlers beers since the brewery was closed, and production moved to Hakwshead a couple of years go. This is my first beer since that. โBrewed in the Black Country since 1861โ it says on the bottle โ wrong on more than one count ! Anyway, has a malty aroma, with hints of lemongrass. Pours a pale lemon yellow with minimal white head. Not much happening in the mouth ewither โ dominant flavours is vegetable stock with metallic undertones. Some malts as well. Finish is rather peppery. One step up from a macro lager, thatโs all.

500ml bottle from Co-op. Eye - clear gold, small white head, ringed retention. Aroma - soft fruity and citrus hop with biscuit malts. Taste - crisp and clean. Light biscuit malts is followed by melon, lemon and floral peach. Palate - light to moderate body Overall - its not too bad, I was expecting another English gold beer but there is some decent hop level here.
