Bottle from Tesco. Mahogany colour with lasting beige head. Malty dusty slight Badger yeast and pepper hop on the aroma. Malty in mouth. Horrible pasteurised empty candy sugar towards end of palate. Sweetish ESB style finish. Yeasty ESB. It’s fine.

Orange/amber colour. Hints of grass and aniseed in the aroma. Flavour is quite floral and soft. Lacking somewhat in terms of depth of flavour.

[i] Bottle from Tesco, Cowley 02-11-07 [/i] Deep amber colour with white head. Aroma a bit sweet shop ’pick and mix’ or even jammie dodger? Quite a satisfying beer despite the sweetness, again the jammie dodger biscuitiness came back to me as did some spices not bad at all.

500ml bottle. Bright amber with a thick greenish-white head, champagne-like carbonation; carmel malt aroma; very lively in the mouth; dry hoppy start, and then a sour apple fruitiness. Different, but not one I’d want to try again.
