Bottle from Eltham Wines. Nose is peach, passionfruit, apricot. Fruity bittersweet action. Doesn't set the world alight but competent enough.

Bottle from Sainsbury’s. Clear ruby body with a beige head that holds well. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of strawberry syrup, roasted malt and copper. Flavour of raspberry and liquorice. Medium body with a slick mouthfeel. Soft fizz. Sweet and tart. I can see why others aren’t keen but I quite like this.

Can from Sainsbury's, Wycombe. Very pale yellow with a light haze and a white head. Sweetcorn, urine, green leaves and white pepper. Clammy mouthfeel with a prickly fizz. Drying finish with a lasting unpleasant aftertaste of gone-off lemons. One of the shittiest beers in Badger's extensive range of shit beers.

Thick biscuity malts, a good dose of zesty hops. Some lemon zest, even lime, touches of spice, some corriander. Good mouthfeel, light carb, light bitter finish, with a good pale bready malt aftertaste, decent stuff, i liked it.

Raising my tankard to the SAS I tried this beer. Great pour with an amazing clarity in the tankard. Really rich malt and hops that just form a party on the tastebuds. Lovely.
