Clear 500ml bottle from my local Morrisons, pre-positioned at Auntie Sue’s and poured into a UK pint bubble tankard on 27th June 2025. Clean and clear bright golden amber body, wispy white head. Grassy nose, citrus hop taste. It’s fine for a cheap (only cost £1:00) supermarket beer at 3.4%ABV. First of five beers I intend to drink today, all pre-positioned for the purpose.

Bottled. Bit of a rank aroma giving way to toffee. Buttery biscuity notes, can taste the goldings.
