500ml bottle from Sainsbury - Didn’t mind this, a foggy yellow body, foamy white head. Nose was a muted grapefruit, and the smell you get when you open a bag of wine gums. The taste was helped along by a medium palate, with a creamy texture, leaving a bitter-sweet fruit ending.

Cask handpull at Samuel Peto Spoons Folkestone. Clear amber brown lasting beige head. At last a beer with some malt. Bit of biscuit. Compared with the golden hoppy beers I have had before this is a godsend. I like it. Simple sweet bitter with some decent biscuit flavour.

The light citrusy aroma and taste are the only pleasant elements of this one. It has a very rough, agressive carbonation and a rough unrefined bitterness with a metallic edge to the flavour.

500ml bottle from Sainsbury?s. Pours a clear gold with a thin white head. Some nice lacing. Aromas of butterscotch, bread, musty, light citrus fruit. Taste has a good bitterness, but is both oily and minerally. Ok. Just.
