Can from Home Bargains, Salford. Black with next to no head. Milky and sweet tasting to an extent, although not full of flavour by any means.

Can from Home Bargains, Salford. Golden coloured with a head. Full-bodied sweetened hoppy taste, some bitterness in finish. Hints of fruit, which is probably best in its aroma.

Can from Home Bargains, Salford. Golden with a head. Hoppy and the description on the can is pretty solid - piney and fruity, with the former a little more dominant for me. Has a good body.

440ml can from a local Home Bargains store: BB 26th February 2023. Drank at home on 1st December 2022. Amber body with a red hue, off-white head. Caramel malty front to the nose and taste; hop bitterness kicks in later. It's OK for a cheap supermarket tick.

440ml can from a local Home Bargains: BB 17th February 2023. Drank at home on 29th November 2022. Almost black in colour, beige topping, with a chocolate orange flavour, all a bit sweet and thin for my liking.

Can from Home Bargains, Salford. More amber-brown in colour than red, but the styling of this 'red ale' is there. Sweetened malts give way to a grittier grainier lightish bitterness in its finish with a hint of caramel.

Can from Home Bargains, Salford. Very dark with a small off-white head. It's not the most stated of chocolate-orange stouts I've come across, but that's what it does taste like, and is mildly sweet for it - and is perhaps tad soapy-floral in its finish too.
