Cask conditioned at the Ship & Shovell, Charing Cross. Amber coloured with next to no head. Aroma had a touch of caramel and a hint of grassy hops. Flavour was slightly sweet before a decent enough bitter finish. Ok, but not memorable.

Straw to orange clear gold under a good fluffy off-white head. Discreet malts and just a hint at something that could well be hops. Bit dusty, that malt. Bitterish taste, which to me speaks of a dose of not-too-noble hops, high-yield aso. Rest is underlying sweetish-toasted malts, cornflakes-like. Quite watery MF, light body, aftertaste vaguely metallic and bubble gum. Rather mediocre beer. A bit more attention to the hops used might honour the name more.

Quite a fresh citrusy aroma. However it’s very dry and bitter on the palate. A flavour dominated by the hop.

500ml bottle from Tesco. Amber colour with thin white head. Kind of a gingery spicy beer. Actually not too bad at all. I kinda like the spice. I shouldn’t, but I do and I don’t care. 3.5/5.0 Re-rate Sainsbury bottle 20th September 2008. Awful. Yeasty and spice aroma, nothing much in the body, poor finish
