330ml bottle into glass. Slight sour nose. Cloudy golden beer with thin white head. Medium carbonation. Light spritzy mouthfeel. Creamy, sour, fruity. Finish is a bit vegetal. It’s OK.

330ml bottle into shaker. Light hop nose. a little bready malt. Pale amber beer with solid white head. Light carbonation. Flat mouthfeel with delicate floral hop taste. A bit of malt then a long cleansing hop finish. Easy drinking but unspectacular.

330ml bottle into glass. Subdued malty nose. Copper coloured beer with solid two finger white head. Lots of tiny bubbles. Slight zing in the mouth, medium body. Initial hoppiness is followed by smoky malts then a light citric finish. Does taste like English ales. Delicious.

330ml bottle(part of gift pack) into schooner glass. Caramel malt nose, golden amber beer with solid white head. Medium carbonation. Light but not watery. Tinny hops with malt background. Slight citric hint right at the end. Excellent taste for a low alcohol beer.

330ml bottle into glass. Excellent toffee malt nose, inviting. Bronze beer with solid white head. A few small bubbles. Mineral water freshness followed by caramel and banana. Late late bitterness. Really really good.

330ml bottle into pint glass. ’Serve at cellar temperature’ OK, I don’t have a cellar but it’s 30 degrees Celsius inside today, so 10 minutes in the freezer. Sweet dark chocolate nose. Totally impenetrable black beer with large solid tan head. Body is surprisingly light, even spritzy on the tongue. Ending with bitter cocoa. Slightly lingering. A bit light on for my taste but OK.

Bottle. Cloudy brown with an off white head. Aroma of chocolate, brown bread, coriander, herbal oranges - rather odd. Taste has light roast, tangy wheat, oranges and somewhat intrusive spices. Finish is dry and spicy. Refreshing, unusual.

Bottle. Cloudy orange with a white head that fades fairly quickly - looks like ginger beer with a head. Aroma of ginger, a little wheat and lemon. Thin, highly carbonated. Sweet and soft drink-like with lots of ginger, moderate bitterness with some hints of a wit finish - a little tanginess, coriander, some bitterness. There’s a little fleshy fig there too, but wouldn’t have picked it if it wasn’t on the label. A ginger beer with some mildly intrusive fruit and beer notes.

Pours dark copper with a large, fading head.Nose shows butterscotch, roasted malt, bready malt, coffee, caramel and toast.More roasted malt as flavours, along with coffee, toasty malt, nutty notes and some spicy juniper in the finish.Carbonation seems just a little high.
