Bottle, delivered to my work from the brewery - nice touch. Milky golden body with a medium white head. Faint lacing. Aroma of orange pith, lemonade and yeast. Flavour is pleasant, but lacking crispness - notes of white pepper, green apple, orange and creamy oats. Medium body with a smooth, creamy texture. Soft fizz. An easy-drinking Witbier - could do with a bit more carbonation.

Can from Tesco, Corby. Copper with a red tint, although practically no head. With a low carbonation, this is a sweetened bitter. Passable but unexciting.

Can from Tesco, Corby. Very sweet for a stout, and so much so that there’s very little ’stout’ about it. Dark clear brown with no head.

Golden colour, white head. Skunky aroma, malts. Whisky flavour, malts. Dito finish. Interesting beer. I learned whisky can hide skunk.

Keg @ Drygate. Clear golden, white head. Nose is grainy and grassy. Flavour is grainy, grassy, medium bitterness. The unpasturized bit might give it some nice freshness.

Can (shared by Marduk, thanks!). Pours golden with white head. Aroma is malt, grains, some hop extract. Flavor follows the nose. Body is watery. Overall: classic pale lager.

Nothing special. Golden color with a minimal and quickly diminishing white head. Aroma and flavor is light malty with notes of some cardboard hints. Watery mouthfeel in the final.
