25/6/2023. Bottle from U & I Drinks, Hampshire. Pours just about clear golden orange with a large frothy white head. Aroma is grainy, sweet malts, bready, floral, stewed fruits. Quite sweet with moderate bitterness, and a metallic edge. Moderate body, average carbonation. Not bad.
Bottle thanks to cgarvieuk. Appearance - golden with a beige head. Nose - bread and honey. Taste - metallic, dry, bitter salad. Palate - light bodied, slight bitterness. Overall - a bit metallic.
330ml bottle as part of a delivery from U & I Drinks and drunk at home. Mid- to dark gold and clear with a large white head. Corn syrupy and slightly skunky aroma. It’s pretty sweet, but not impossibly so. Some jarring bitterness in the finish. It isn’t terrible but it’s not flavourful enough to be properly refreshing.
Bottle at Ash's, thanks to cgarvieuk. Pours yellow-brown with a thick white head. Aromas of sugar and cooked veg. Taste is sweet, chalky. Sweet finish. Plain.
