7/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
500ml bottle: BBE August 2023, from a local (now closed and turning into a Morrisons) Co-Op store. Drank at home on 25th January 2023. Clean ruby body, off-white crown. The Rye gives off that distinct aroma and taste along with a sweeter malty caramel/toffee feel before the hops kick in and a fruity/berry bitterness arrives.

Bottle from Cooperative Supermarket, Hebden Bridge. Dark copper-coloured with a head. Malty-bitter, but its bitterness is certainly dominant and edging towards high end.

500ml bottle from Co-op, Cockerton. Hazy yellow gold colour, short-lived fizzy white bubbly head and aroma of apple, fruity, leathery funk, sugar, hint of sulphur. Taste is sweet, fruity, apple, juicy, funky, some leather, straw, with sugary notes and light tannins. Medium bodied, light carbonation, medium-sweet finish. Quite drinkable, abit sweet.

500ml bottle bought at CO-Op, Leeds University Union. Clear brownish body, spotty lacing from a dissipating beige head. Berries, pale malts, and berry skins on the nose, inviting. Blended taste of blackcurrant, mild caramel malts, and a backdrop of leafy hops. Distant berry-fruit bitterness to the ending. Quite alright. (Student flat, Leeds 07.07.2022).

500ml bottle from Co-Op. A lazy chuck into the basket without much thought about it. Pours clear burnished amber, healthy off-white head. Stewed malt nose. Nicely sweet bitter, some caramel and mild marmalade notes. Medium bodied. Pretty good actually.
