[50cl bottle from Morrisons, Bracknell.] An amber pour with a fast-fading white head and medium carbonation; leafy hop aroma; biscuity malt taste with a little citrus; then a watery finish with some lingering lime. Ok on a hot summer afternoon.

[50cl bottle from Waitrose, Bracknell.] An impressive, elaborate cardboard box, containing a standard looking bottle. An attractive bright copper coloured pour with a rapidly fading cream head that left just a thin, patchy covering; aroma of tart apples and toffee; rich chewy apple taste, immediately releasing a hit of alcohol in the throat which makes it way quickly to the belly; leaving an aftertaste of dried figs, raisins and treacle toffee. Quite tasty, but would be better if the alcohol could be hidden.

50cl bottle from Sainsburys, Bracknell. Deep reddish magohany in colour with a dense coffee coloured head; malty aroma with some light chocolate; medium body and a silky texture; nutty milky chocolate malts; and a dry finish. Very pleasant.
