440ml can. Poured a mostly clear golden colour with a short-lived, fizzy white head. The aroma is skunky yeast, light citrus. The flavour is moderate to light bitter and sweet, with a light, slightly watery, crisp, wet dog, light lemon citrus, fake sugar, light hop bitter palate. Medium to light bodied with lively carbonation.

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.

[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.
