8/4/2023. Can shared at SBGP2. From Home Bargains, Martlesham Heath. Pours almost clear bright amber-red with a small frothy off-white head. Aroma is malty, caramel, dried fruits, berries and cherries, biscuit, bread, light spice. Medium sweetness, moderate bitterness and body. Slightly watery, average carbonation. A bit weak and muddled, and tasted like it was cheap (which it was).

Light brown with stable head. Some base notes of malt and a hint red fruit sugars. Juicy grapefruit comes through too. Ok.

Can. Pours light hazed gold with a foamy white cap. Aroma: grain, straw, toast, tropical fruits. Taste: tropical fruits, grass, some sweet citrus, blueberries, floral. Medium body with foamy carbonation. Not too bad for cheapo supermarket fodder.

500ml bottle from Home Bargains, Shrewsbury. Shared with Soph on Good Friday. Pours a pale golden yellow. Aroma of sweetened green apple, sulphur. Taste is moderately sweet with artificial sweeteners, funk, apple pie with a syrupy linger. Lacks a natural cider feel.

[44cl can from Home Bargains, Bracknell.] A pale straw coloured pour with a loose white head and light carbonation; tropical fruit aroma; rather soapy in the mouth with a light herbal bitterness, and some sweet malts; then a dry finish with some peach stones. A decent beer for an discount store own-label.

440ml can from Home Bargains. Deep copper in colour, with a slight, off-white, head. Aroma had a yeasty, marmite-like character with some caramel and red berries. Prickly mouth feel, with some dusty, earthy, malts, tart fruits and a touch of toastiness, before a moderately bitter finish. Unusual, and not bad at all.
