Bottle from Whistle Wines, Exeter. Pale amber in colour, with no head and slight carbonation. Crisp cereal malts, grassy hops and a hint of apricot in the aroma. Flavour was similar, with some slight spicy, citrus hops and moderately bitter finish. Good.

50cl bottle from Sainsburys. Copper with a loose white head; tarry, fruity aroma; sharp fruity flavour, soft, soapy mouth-feel, followed by a short bitter burst, then a gentler malty finish. A good bitter.

500ml bottle from Sainsbury. Yep it’s a pretty decent brown bitter. Some yeast character on aroma, some malty fruit. Bit lacking in body in the middle. Short lived bitterness on the finish. Aroma is ok, but then it fades after that.

500ml bottle found at Sainsbury’s. Looks very good, nice fluffy head, nice amber colour. Some scents of hops and malts on the nose, a little woodiness, but nothing too strong. Flavour is definitely watery, which I don’t like, but also has a good combination of hops and malts, more on the malty side, some nutty hints in there. Decent mouthfeel. Not a bad bitter at all.

Bottle purchased at Sainsburys, Kidlington, Oxon and consumed in a field at Towersey, Oxfordshire, 30-08-09 Pours amber with off-white head. Nice fruity beer with some reasonable bitterness, in fact getting slightly more bitters as it slips down. Bit malty and hops are noticeable, decent beer. A6 A3 F7 P3 Ov13 3.2
