500ml bottle from Asda. Amber, Badger yeast aroma. OK in mouth. Bit empty due to the pasteurisation. Some candy sugar. It promises fruit and spice on the bottle. Yes there is some good rich fruit cakey fruit and some spicy hop on finish. It’s got some orange fruit to go with the Badger yeast character that runs all through it. As Badger beers go, it’s alright.

50cl bottle: Copper gold with a egg white head. Hop aroma - peach, citrus, floral & grassy. Very fruity - mainly hops. Medium body & carbonation. A bit sweet. The heavy peachy notes gets too dominating! Fresh & drinkable beer!

500ml bottle purchased in London. Bright golden-orange color. Frothy head. Relatively transparent. Creamy mouthfeel, with very pleasant hop balance. Fruity and slightly sweet, this is quite an enjoyable beer. Light and drinkable enough, but with a lot of flavor throughout.

500ml bottle. Chestnut red colour with a slight off-white head. English hedgerow aroma with damsons and black fruit and some sweet malt and spices. Flavour was slightly tart, almost sloe-like with licorice and a soft fruity finish. Unusual and enjoyable.
