6.1/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 5 Flavor 6 Texture 8 Overall 5.5
Bottle 0,5ltr: Clear amber coloured brew with fruity and floral flavours, also some nice hoppiness. Quite great what they in England can make out of low alcohol brews.

7.4/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 6.5
From old tasting notes. Bright orange copper color. Huge rocky beige head. Toasted malt nose with a talcum powder backdrop. Toasted malt flavor upfront with a hint of bittersweet hop character. Light dryish bitter hop finish. Bitter tart aftertaste is long and tasty. Nice balance. Good lacework.

5.9/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 5 Flavor 5 Texture 8 Overall 5.5
Cask at the Rock, Cambridge. Amberish brown with very little head. Pleasant if very muted biscuit aroma with a hint of cinnamon toast. Taste is sourish sweet, with a woody tang near the end of the sip. Medium body, a bit on the oily side. It tastes stronger than 2.8%, although it’s a fairly standard bitter otherwise.

Bottle from Tesco, Enniskillen [110314]
Light caramel brown, fizzy bubbles, large white head that dissipated
Aroma - clear bottle...not too much skunk though...slight caramel...bit of toffee...hint of fruits...not much here
Taste of slight sweet caramel...light fruits...bit tangy...touch of toffee...very thin in flavour...not too awful though
Palate - Medium carb...very light body...fairly sweet palate. Finish as main flavour...watery...smooth toffee caramel
Overall - Thought this was going to be shit but was better than expected...though I won’t be getting this again
