Bottle from Seoul Plaza. 24.7.2015. Lots of metallic flavour and aroma, otherwise there is typical British hops character, floral, earthy, but drowned in off elements. Not good. 2,2 Rerate. Bottle via Lidl, SK. 28.6.2020. Moderate body, moderate carbonation. Rather bitter, though the bitterness is dull, slightly grainy/astringent, hops character absent. Rather malty in terms of character, grainy, caramelly. Drinkable. Characterless, dull, but otherwise more or less okay. 2,9

Bottle from a supermarket in London, 2013, as Brakspear Triple. Rather faint nose, caramel, earth, some estery yeast, apricot, hay. Amber-orange, clear, with a fine bubbly head. Sweet malts, some caramel and crackers, Lightly fruity, apricot, orange hops, grassy, grainy. Hard to categorize this. Prickly, peppery, citrus hop finish, though not hugely bitter, with crackers. Full, smooth body, though not too heavy. Prickly carbonation. Nice, but not really enough flavor for the strength.

500ml bottle from a big supermarket somewhere. Pours deep amber with modest ivory head. Aroma is caramel & brown sugar. Taste is smooth, rich and slightly boozy with smooth, subtle sweet flavours and a tangy fruitcake finish. Expected more.
