Bottle from Tesco.....Amber with big rocky white head, reasonable lacing....Aroma of spicy hops, biscuit malt, bit of metal.
Taste of spicy hops, grass, biscuity malt, rather metallic, chalky minerals.
Bitter lingering finish, bit sour and acidic, some harsh coiny metal, bit rough, soft carb.
Disappointed with this beer. Coniston Brewery on the label but it’s brewed in Sussex, and the recipe isn’t the same as the award winning ale. This is no award winner, dodgy labelling on the bottle and it’s not a good beer. Won’t be buying this again.

Bottle, courtesy of fonefan. It pours a clear, golden body and a small, off-white head. Citrusy, peachy nose with a touch of malts. Bitter in the mouth, but not very bitter. Peachy and slightly citrusy, finishing much in the same way. Medium body. Nothing impressive going on here, but quite decent. 110129
