Amber color with good white foam Pale malt & hops. Light caramel taste. Ok body - not as thin as expected. Easy sweet malt & light hoppy end. Simple, but drinkable & OK!

Cask at The Prince of Wales, Kensington. Lightly fruity aroma; very light. Amber color with a lacing white head. Hint of vanilla, starts more malt than hop. However, there is nice bitter at the finish.

(50 cl bottle) Clear dark copper to mahogany brown color, small tan head. Sweet malty and also metallic scent, hints of hops and grass. Some off-smell I can’t place. Burnt harsch taste, toffee and butter aftertaste. Thin mouthfeel and low bitterness.

Bottled. Pale brown, brief head. Syrupy bready nose. Sweet and bland with evident metal. Feels diluted and raw. Like if it you have just drank half the bottle and then filled it up with water. Some light resiny bitterness doesn’t save it. Almost worse then some of the local Carlsberg low-alc swill.

Bottled. Amber coloured with lively head and a lot of sediment. Fruity grassy nose. Sweet, ligtly syrupy malt mixes with fruity alcohol and drying salty, grassy hops. Some cookie malt flavour. The body is a bit light, ane leaves a lot of room for alcohol to shine through. Dry, grassy, salty, bitter finish.
