2L Plastic Bottle from Cooperative Supermarket, Hebden Bridge. Would have preferred the canned version as it's pretty standard stuff, reminding me of stuff I drank as a teenager. Fair apple aroma and taste, and it is a tad dry in its finish.

Bottle from Co-Op, Kentish Town on 10th February 2021. Pours a reddish copper with substantial yellowy white foam soon reducing shallow. Plenty of lacing. Caramel malt aroma. Fruity in mouth with berries, a touch of fresh apple, spices and nutty malts. A finish of berry fruits and nutty hints. Full bodied with a smooth mouthfeel.

440ml can. Eye - pale gold, big fizzy head which dissipates quickly to nothing. Aroma - stale apples, sugars, artificial additives. Taste - watered down apple juice, glucose, quite tart, semi-dry finish. Its strangely quite pleasant together even if artificial. Palate - medium bodied and syrupy, moderate carbonation Overall - not great but there is a lot worse out there.

500ml bottle from Asda. Ok only joking it was Co-op Eye - clear light amber/dark gold, small white head, decent retention. Nose - sweet biscuit malts, light floral hops, hint of astringency; stale English traditional IPA aroma. Taste - sweet biscuit malts, too watery in the middle but some citrus and fruity hops is noticeable. Its slightly tastier than I was expecting without being great. Palate - light to moderate body, moderate carbonation, quite dry but I wouldn't say astringent. Overall - mediocre

500ml bottle. Eye - clear dark gold. small white head, nice retention but very slow moving carbonation for a 4% beer. Nose - biscuit malts, grain, hint of citrus. A bit dull. Taste - biscuit, a slightly sour citrus note then bitterness kicks in with a stale dry cracker/Ryvita. I guess this is the 'twiggy' people mention. Palate - light bodied and wet but then quite a dry astringent finish. Carbonation had a bit more zing than I thought but could do with a touch more. Overall - drinkable but a poor English golden ale.

[50cl bottle from the Co-Op, Milton, Staffs.] A pale amber pour with a loose white head; grassy aroma; sweet floral taste with a biscuity body; then a touch of iodine before a dry floral finish. Definitely summery.

ThoughtI should tick this 'brewery' off. Bought down the road from my house. Malty aroma with a fruity streak. Golden-brown. Thin creamy translucent off-white head. Starts off light-medium bitter with a good dose of malts. However it has a sour streak and this not pleasant element gradually dominates. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft carbonation. Long astringent finish. Didn't bother finishing it. Not good.

Bottle from Cooperative Supermarket, Salcombe. Copper-coloured ale with a head. Has a deeper tasting sweetened bitterness. It’s a nice red ale in style, but perhaps understated.
