Bottle at home – from Home & Bargain Has a faint malty aroma. Pours orange-yellow with a small transient white head. Well carbonated. In the mouth the overwhelming taste is that of lucozade (!) though there are malts and biscuit flavours there too. Finish is pretty sickly – like barley sugar combined with olive oil. Won’t be having this one again !
