On tap at The Charming Squire, pours a deep dark brown with a reddish tinge and a small beige head. Aroma brings out soy sauce and light toasted malt. Flavour is similar, with dry toasted malt and light soy sauce notes. Boring but clean, despite the soy sauce.

Bottle, heavily discounted at Dan’s. Gold with a rocky inch of white head. Aroma of mandarins, mango, melon, hay. Light bodied, fairly high carbonation. Not very sweet crackery malt with pleasant fruity accents and a dryish moderately bitter finish. Low key quaffer that’s refreshing and tasty enough.

From a 330ml bottle on 2/3/2016. Pours a clear light golden with a medium head. Has a very modest, light fruity aroma. Flavour wise, the primary feature is a sharpish lemony tang, followed by a pretty firm, dry, lingering bitterness, with some bready malt in the background. Light bodied with moderate carbonation. This is quite refreshing and a pretty good quaffer. Not exactly a flavour explosion, but it’s got a bit of character and is a touch unusual.
