Bottle thanks to my step-dad. Pours clear golden with a thin white head. Aromas of light herbal hops, light citrus, light malt. Taste is more of the same. Easy drinking stuff.

500ml bottle from a Booth's Supermarket (Knutsford). Drank on 5th May 2022 after mowing the back lawn, my reward to myself for doing such a good job! Slight haze in the golden body, weak white head on top. Grainy nose and taste with a good hop bitterness, refreshing and an ideal beer after a bit of labour.

500ml bottle. Clear gold, moderate amount of white froth. Nicely refreshing, decent lagery profile, good bitterness. Decent AF.

Rocky off white head left a froth on a reddish amber coloured slowly carbonating body. Malt, berries & spiced aroma. Medium bodied, soft on the tongue with a lively cloying back. Malt, berries, tea, spiced fruit & toffee tastes with tangy finish. Easy going.

500ml bottle [courtesy of Grumbo - thanks for the bottle and the ship label in particular!]. Clear, redd-ish, copper-ish, amber colour with small to average, thick, creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, off-white head. Floral, slightly fruity, hoppy aroma, unspecific notes of petals, equally unspecific hints of berries, a mineral touch somehow, minimally leafy overtones. Taste is slightly dry, floral and minimally citrusy, fruity hoppy, hints of instant lemon tea, hibiscus, rose hip. Watery, but somehow dense, glossy, extremely homogeneous, in a way eased mercury-like texture, super soft, smooth palate, very fine, soft carbonation (the water used here must be excellent); well crafted, surprisingly beefy for its low abv - a little gem in its genre!

500ml bottle [courtesy of Grumbo - thank you very much!]. Opalescent, orangey, dark golden to amber colour with small, frothy to creamy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Leafy and minimally citrusy hoppy, sweet-ish, pale, caramel and crystal malty background, hints of tea, lemon, an earthy fruity touch of darker berries as well, juniper berry, lingonberry, elderberry. Taste is sweet-ish, pale and caramel malty, earthy fruity and minimally leafy hoppy, hints of darker berries, a touch of tea, dry, mineral undertones. Watery texture, minimally dry, smooth and soft palate, fine, soft to flat carbonation. Nice, earthy fruity flavours, balanced and harmonious - pretty decent.

Bottle from Beer Ambleside. Appearance - pale yellow, fluffy white head. Nose - orange, biscuit and light metal. Taste - more of the same. Palate - light bodied, dry finish. Overall - ok, considering it's not a real drink.

Panda to home, thanks to SHIG, 29/07/20. Clear reddish amber with a cap formed of just off white bubbles. Nose is treacle toffee, biscuit malts, dried fruits, brown sugar dusting. Taste comprises fruit slice, caramel, light leafy hop presence, biscuit crumbs, toasted grains, light candied fruit rinds. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Decent for the style.
