330ml bottle with the ABV now at 3.5%. Clear gold, small white head, nice carbonation. Aroma is malts, lemon, some tangerine, very clean. Taste is biscuit malts, citrus, again quite clean. Light bodied but refreshing. I think the 4% version would be better though, it lacks a little bite.

Over 8 years since it was bottled, let’s see what’s occurring (drunk after the 01 Jack version). Pours oily, deep brown, near black, with a distinct bourbon aroma. Tastes boozy, the bourbon being very prominent on top of a roasted malt backbone, with some smoked wood apparent. The mouthfeel is thickish, thin oil-like, and there’s a touch of dry bitterness in the finish. very similar to the 01 Jack version, not as mellow and a more pronounced bourbon character which for me loses it some marks

Frothy white head on a hazy dark amber coloured still body. Malt, pine & hoppy aroma. Medium bodied, sharp & clean with a dry back. Well balanced tastes of pine, pith grapefruit, malt & hops. Old school - Love it!

Fluffy white head left a froth on a hazy pale orange coloured still body. Bitter pithy orange aroma. Medium bodied, sharp on the tongue thinning out to leave a dry clean back. Bitter, pity, grapefruit, orange & hoppy tastes with a long tangy finish. Hides the ABV well.
