330ml bottle as 'Ice Breaker Pale Ale'. Drank while watching the 3rd England v West Indies Test at home on 24th July 2020. Poured into an 'Old Speckled Hen' badged pint vase glass. Clear golden body, weak white head. Fruity hop nose and taste, it's fine. England are 7 for 1 wicket, not a great start.

330ml as Greene King Ice Breaker - Gold body, little white top. Bog standard malted biscuity with a bit of citrus hop profile. Nothing outstanding, but not bad for an 88p bargain bin buy.

[33cl bottle from my local Londis.] A golden amber pour with a loose cream head; pleasant malty citrus aroma; similar taste with a sweet malty body with some caramel and some pink grapefruit. Very drinkable.

Draft at The Oak Barrel, HEL as Greene King Ice Breaker. Golden colour and creamy medium-sized off-white head. Flowery citrus aroma. Light-bodied. Pale malty, citrusy and flowery hops. Some off-flavours but I think they are from tap.

Bottle at The Battleaxes, Elstree. Dull golden-amber with a thin white head and negligible fizz. Nice tropical fruit up front, quickly descends into caramel and orange with a cardboardy bitterness in the finish. Don't think GK have really understood this style.
