Can from lowcostbeer, consumed 1 day past BBE. Pours a cloudy light amber with off white head. Aroma of orange, flora, minerals. Taste has a nice Juicy orange, grapefruit, pine, light spice. There is a hint of that Firebrand astringency but more hidden here. Nice.

Can from lowcostbeer.com, consumed 1 month past BBE. Amber, light haze, nice looking white head. Aroma of fruit cake, malts, toffee, minerals. Taste of fruit cake, caramel, orange pith and zest, slightly herbal hop with bitter finish. A touch of barley wine sweetness about it. Medium to full bodied, warming alcohol on way down. A little rough around the edges but I like this, quite tasty.

330ml can from Beers of Europe. Light cloudy dark gold/light amber with big white head, plenty of scum like retention and lacing. Aroma is malty, resinous, stone fruits, earthy. Taste is malty with punchy hoppy notes of citrus, zesty peel, stone fruits, earthy, dry bitter finish. Medium body and carbonation. A softer carbonation would have worked better.

330ml can from Beers of Europe. Light cloudy dark gold/light amber, small fluffy white head, decent retention. Aroma is biscuit malts, grainy, with a hoppy note of citrus zest, stone fruits and earthy-flora. Taste is biscuit malts, grains, stone fruits, pineapple, zesty bitterness, earthy, very dry and almost astringent in note. For whatever reason its just not that tasty. Light to medium bodied, oily yet dry in the close.

Can from the brewer's own stall at the Birmingham NEC Good Food Show. Hazy pale amber with a white head that lasted reasonably well. There's a nice tropical and pine hoppiness. The mouthfeel's actually pretty decent for a low alcohol beer; I think in blind test I'd have guessed this was a 4% pale. The only let down is that the bitter finish is just a tad too harsh. But still definitely one of the better low alcohol brews I've tried.

Can from the brewer's own stall at the Birmingham NEC Good Food Show. Clear burnished good with a light fizz and a rapidly vanishing white head. Thin and a little watery but with pleasing grassy hops set against a gentle biscuit base. It's crisp and clean and easy drinking. It's that very rare thing - a pretty decent low alcohol lager.
