Keg at Cock Tavern. It pours clear yellow with a medium white head. The aroma fragrant, lemony vibes, lemonade, floral and candy. The taste is crisp, dry, very light, wish washy, soapy, lemony, grass and straw with a lemony finish. Light body and fine carbonation. Very light and fine carbonation. Very wishy washy.

Bottle at Seven Seasons, Hoxton, London. Poured almost black with a decent sized off-white to beige head. Looks the part. Aroma of malt, liquorice, light chocolate, bread, toasting and yeast extract. Medium sweetness, light roasted bitterness. Light body, slight oily texture, average carbonation. Kind of ok, bit better than average for a low alcohol beer, but wouldn't make me give up the alcohol.

Bottle at home. It pours darkest brown with a small beige head. The aroma is very malty, malt loaf, malt extract, supermalt, cocoa and earthy roast. The taste is earthy roast, quite watery, wood bark, liquorice, umami, malt extract, coffee grounds, cardboard and charred wood with an earthy and spicy finish. Light body and moderate, fizzy carbonation. Tastes like a malt beverage like supermalt or something. The lack of alcohol is glaringly obvious.

Really lightly roasted but a bit confused on the spices. Remove the spices and it wld be better.

Bottle at home in Hackney - sourced from the Drinkers' Paradise. Pours perfectly clear, pale gold with a fluffy, white head. The nose has a lot of malted barley, some wort, biscuits. Light to medium sweet flavour with notes of blueberry pancakes (odd, I know, but true), doughy biscuits, more malted barley, almost no bitterness. Light bodied with average carbonation. Finishes with more bready sweetness, more novel blueberry pancakes, more biscuits, very faint caramel. Certainly not something I would seek out, but it is kind of interesting.
