Pours bright amber into an English pint. Offwhite head quickly subsides to skim surface. Metallic English hop aromas. Smooth, sweet caramel upfront with a lasting bitter hop finish.

500ml bottle from Tescos. Well, I saw this on the shelf and thought "Surely, it can’t be that bad", and then I read the other ratings. It’s hard to be objective in these circumstances, but here goes...It’s amber with an off-white head; it smells of rhubarb, but in a rather artificial way, and reminds me of rotting vegetation, rather than fresh, ready to cut, rhubarb. Taste is truly revolting, sour rather than sharp; metallic - undrinkable in my opinion - there aren’t many beers I have not finished, but this is certainly one of them. A drain pour.

Bottle from Tesco Aylesbury 06-06-07. I know that Harrisoni warned us all to avoid this beer like the plague but for some reason I just had to try it. The aroma was just as Ian described it felt like I was in the corner sweet shop stocking up on my midget gems , cough candy twists and rhubarb and custards this smelt so like the latter it was quite eerie. The taste was more of the same, I actually quite like rhubarb and custards sweets but if you can imagine them liquified down and added to beer well that should be a criminal offence it really tasted like they’d steeped a quarter of rhubarb and custards in a pint of what may have started out as a perfectly good beer for a day or two and then unleashed this godawful monstrosity of a beer on an inquisitive public, I cannot belive that this beer had anything other than artificial flavourings added, a truly awful gimicky beer that done the unbelievable and that is made the Cobra Bite with Blood Orange I’d had the night before seem a stunner in comparison.

500ml bottle from Tesco. Pale chestnut with lasting cream head. Aroma of rhubarb and custard boiled sweets. Even from the aroma, i know that i am going to hate this. And it’s terrible!!!!!! Truly truly disgusting, one of the worst beers in the world. It is almost so terrible that there are not the words. No hop no malt and the only flavour is a chalky rhubarb and custard boiled sweetness that makes me retch. I had to poor it away.

Pours amber with a small amount of white head. The smell is dintictly sweet, in a rather synthetic way, somewhat reminisant of toffee. Initial taste is highly saccharine with a nasty tart after-taste. Absolutely one of the worst beers I’ve ever tasted, totally undrinkable.

500ml bottle - Pours medium brown with a very thin head. It has a mostly caramel malt smell. The flavor is caramel malts and mild hops and the body is a little too watery. The finish is dry. This bottle was also too old as it tasted flat rather than crisp. I’ll try not to mark off too much for age, but the fact that this beer is in a clear bottle and thus very prone to being light struck is the brewer’s fault. I don’t understand why so many English bottlers do that. You’d think they would care about preserving the quality of their ales and that that would include protecting it from light.
