Tasted from tap in De Beiaard in Amsterdam. The head is too thick for a British beer. Just a faint hoparoma with caramel. You could say: the taste is almost neutral. There is some late hopbitterness and a very faint sourness. Still this beer is a decent thirst-quencher.

Caramel and mango aroma. Full bodied. Sweet, somewhat buttery. The alcohol is all around. Fruity flavor (mango and peach) and a hint of cherry. Nice barley wine, fairly well balanced.

Can, drunk in the train from The Hague to Hengelo. Bought in Wijn en Bierboetiek, The Hague. Metallic and grainy. Thin. Hints of orange. There is some distant bitterness, probably not really from Pride of Ringwood hops, but a more nasty bitterness not taken from hops. Nutty. Cardboard. Not good.

500ml bottle kindly shared by Richard. Clear warm golden body, filmy layer, spotty lacing. Restrained aromas of dusty hops. Blended taste profile of grass, and mid-sweet malts with a caramel touch. Moderate bitterness to the ending. Average, more or less. (Worcester 27.06.2019).

Can from Aldi. Amber with a fat coat of white head Pretty watery with a touch of cardboard as well as honey and a little stone fruit. But oddly the lack of body (combined with rather tentative nitro) brings the modest bitter finish into greater prominence - which for me makes it beat the Pub Ale. You could drink buckets of this but you wouldn't enjoy it much - if that isn't authenticity, I don't know what is.

330ml can from Sainsburys, Darlington. Orangey gold colour, white foam head leaving lacing and aroma of fruity, malt, orangey. Taste is sweet, malty, barley, dried fruits, toffee, mellow, citrus, spicy, boozy, earthy. Syrupy mouthfeel, medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi-dry warm boozy finish. OK.

Is this a nitro can? What's going on here? Ah it is! Quite nice, creamy bitter straight out of the can. Light but creamy smoothie.

12oz can, courtesy of SarkyNorthener, pours with a clear copper gold body that supports a thin off white head of foam. The aroma offers up pear and apple fruity esters as well as sweet malts and a thin hit of black pepper. The taste delivers similar notes such as sweet slick estery pear and ripe red apple fruitiness as well as sugar sweet malts and a mild sting of booze. Decent. Kind of the malt liquor of barleywine.
