440ml can from Home Bargains I presume. Poured a murky dark brown colour with a short-lived, frothy off-white head. The aroma is roasty, chocolate. The flavour is moderate to light sweet, with a smooth, light, watery, light roasty liquorice, light chocolate, fake sugar, Coca Cola palate. Medium to light bodied with average to soft carbonation.

Can. Clear gold, brief head, quite soda like in carbonation. Aroma of confected tropical flavoured sweets. Taste has a sweet confected mango and passionfruit flavour with some vanilla. Mid bodied, a bit sticky. Its not unpleasant as a soda, as a beer its crap.

Didn't make much notes on this one. Clear pale gold. Aroma of apple skins, tannins, clean juice. Taste is clean, sweet, a little syrupy. Average but fine.

Pours a red tinged amber with thin off-white head. Malty aroma with chocolate, berries, touch of fruit cake. Taste of caramel, cocoa, mixed fruit, light tang, moderate bitter hop. Fairly tasty. Decent for the price.

Light hazed gold with small consistent white top. Aroma of sweet tropical, hay and a touch of pot pouri. The latter comes though more in taste, some fruity melon and lime, quite piney and bitter in finish. Hint of butterscotch. A bit of a mess but perfectly drinkable. Near medium bodied, zingy carbonation. Not great for the style.

Light misty gold with small white top. A good fresh floral and fruity aroma. Notes of pink grapefruit, pine, hay, citrus zest, light spice. Light to medium bodied, fairly soft, refreshing, fine to frothy carbonation. Nice indeed. Not sure who brewed this but we are talking top alchemy for the price point. I hope they still made some £££.

Pours dark brown/near black with small beige top with average retention. Roasted malt aroma with caramel and a touch of liquorice. Taste is quite berry noted with roasted malt, lactose and a hint of aniseed. Body is far too thin. Simple but tasty although not helped by the thin body. Still enjoyed it though.

Clear gold with some brief fizz. Tangy apple juice aroma, icing sugars and sulphur with some funk. Taste of dry apple juice, white sugars, straw, hint of set custard, tangy apple finish. Light to medium bodied, carbonation a bit basic and soda like. Not too bad overall.
