Bottle from Morrisons, Salford. Clear golden with next to no head. Not high on aroma or taste - there’s a hint of fruit, but it mainly has a crisp bitterness.

Bottle at home in London with Rick. Pours clear copper with a frothy white head. The nose has some dried fruit, sultanas. Light-medium sweet flavor with lightly grainy malts, bread, leathery dried fruits, mild earthy and leafy bitterness. Light bodied with average carbonation. Simple finish with some toasty biscuits, dry grains, earth, light husk, more dried fruits. Not altogether bad.

500ml bottle from Morrison?s, the gyle, Edinburgh. Pours clear gold, thin white head. Aromas of light citrus, caramel, bitter orange. Taste is more of the same. Tooth-coating malty sweetness at the end, but not that bad.

Bottle shared at chriso’s Post-GBBF 2014 Tasting - London. Pours clear amber-gold with a creamy, off-white head. Tasty if a bit simple, with basic doughy bread, toasted leaves. Light bodied with average carbonation. Lightly papery on the finish with soft toast, doughy bread, faint leafy bitterness. Fairly bland and inoffensive.

Bottle shared at chriso’s Post-GBBF 2014 Tasting - London. Pours clear amber with a frothy tan head; actually, it looks great. Not a bad beer overall, some lightly toasted dough, brown bread, leaves, grains. Light bodied with average carbonation. Finishes with some further toasted grains, light earthy bitterness, leaves. OK. Nothing too wrong here.

50cl bottle from Morrisons, Bracknell. Golden amber with a thin white head; leafy hop aroma; malty body with some caramel; and a citrus finish. Not bad, reminds me of the old Wychwood Fiddlers Elbow.

50cl bottle from Morrisons, Bracknell. Golden amber with a loose white head; the aroma has some weak hops, but also some traces of corn; thin in the mouth with some caramel and underlying corn or rice, hinting that this hasn’t been made with premium ingredients; the finish is better with a touch of spice giving some warmth.
