Can from lowcostbeer, consumed 2 months past BBE. Cloudy gold with moderate sized white foamy head, nice lacing. Citrus and floral aroma with some biscuit and spice. Pleasant and clean taste of citrus, cracker, spice, light floral, grassy moderate bitter finish. Hops slightly subdued which maybe age or just brewed to be easy drinking. Overall though I liked it, very refreshing and quaffable which is underrated.

330ml bottle from Beer52. Pours near black with a ruby red tinge, small beige head. Aroma is big coffee notes as expected, chocolate malt background. Taste has a grainy coffee, chocolate, some lactose, slight smoke on the backend. Body is light to medium, fairly smooth, carbonation zing. It enjoyable, not too sweet or too bitter, although I think a 6% version would give it more body and improve the beer.

500ml bottle from Morrisons Online. Nice clear amber with creamy off-white head, nice retention. Sweet, fruity, citrus and malty aroma; fairly fresh on the nose. Taste is zesty, fruity, and malt, touch of spice, light dry bitter finish. Nice smooth mouthfeel, a little oily. Very good.

500ml bottle from lowcostbeer.com, this one a fairly hefty 2.5 months past BBE. Cloudy light gold with large white foamy head which settles to an uneven covering Very lemon citrusy aroma, some zest, grainy, hint of the lactose. Flavour has a nice creamy lactose (not overdone) with lemon citrus, some tropical and apricot, grains. Very smooth, soft carbonation. I was worried about the lactose but its been well brewed and has enhanced the beer. Hops have kept up well considering the age. Very enjoyable.

Cask at Smithfield, Derby. Pous golden yellow with minimal off-white head and good lacing. The aroma is a melange of hops with some traces of summer fruits. In the mouth it is quite bitter with a mix of hops again to the fore. Plus hints of citrus and grapefruit with some tropical fruits coming through later leading to a dry and slightly sticky finish. This is reasonable – but not particularly exciting.

Cask at the Harp - Chandos. Pours clear, pale yellow-gold with a fluffy, pure white head. Light sweet flavour with notes of husky pale grains, grassy bitterness, dried straw. Light bodied with fine carbonation; decent condition. Decent balance to finish, notes of sun-baked straw, lean pale biscuits, more grass and grain. Pleasant.
