Completely clear brown pour with no real head to speak of - aroma of roasted nuts and caramel - light fruity esters, some cocoa and hazelnut in the flavor - kind of a bready, yeasty finish - decent - if it weren’t filtered and pasturized it would probably be a lot better.

(Bottle 50 cl) Pours a clear, orangey brown with a small, off-white head. Very vague aroma of nuts. Very light body, almost watery. Weak accents of caramel and nuts. Incredibly bland and disappointing. 060706

Clear golden color, small white head. Fresh grassy nose. Light nutty malty notes, aggressive hopping. Long hoppy aftertaste - this is totally different stuff than the bland bottled version.

500ml bottle from Tesco. Reddish/brown colour with beige head. Dry malt aroma. Juicy malt in mouth with some red burnt fruit. Shame its got a bit of deadness due to pasteurisation. But malt is good. Tasted to me a bit like Batemans XXXB.

Bottled (Can’t remember where i picked it up from) Ruby in colour as it says with nice fruity malty flavours enveloping your tastebuds, some roasted notes and a nice finish. Very good.
