Bottle from Tesco, Leith [070813]
Dark orange amber, clear, thin white head, little lacing
Aroma of soft orangey malts, quite sweet nise, slight alcohol, hint of red berries, fruity caramel
Taste - lots of fruity sweet caramel malt, very slight whisky note, slight vanilla, some soft spicy hops, touch of caramelised orange, not an IPA, alcohol nicely hidden
Palate - soft carb, medium body, quite oily, palate a bit over sweet. Finish as main flavour, soft sweet fruity caramel
Overall - Better than the Barry Island, seemed better put together, soft whisky notes work well here. Too malty to be an IPA. Just as a beer it was quite good

Bottle from Tesco Leith [020813]
Amber, clear , thin white head, little lacing
Aroma - soft yeasts, light caramel malts, hint of grassy hops
Taste - caramel malts, sweet fairly fruity malts, soft yeast, some tangy citrus but rather non-descript
Palate - Soft carb, medium body. Finish as main flavour, clean finish
Overall - Not an IPA, just a sweet caramelly malty bitter with a few extra citrus hops thrown in to gave a bit of a tang. It’s not awful but very average - the sort of type of stronger beer to be seen at Spoons. Try again.

Bottle from Tesco. It’s not entirely awful. there is some ok decent hoppy beer up front and then a misplaced, unintegrated flavour towards the finish. Not sure it all works together the hops, and the whisky. Hmmmm.

Bottle from Tesco Watford. Pours an amber colour with a quickly dissipating head. Definite whisky notes in the aroma, but not in a really appealing way. Some light hop, but considering the style, this is light. Not a very nice slightly chemically aftertaste.
