500ml bottle, thanks to Mike for this. Graham Turner, an oud lad if ever there was one. Pours a generally clear pale gold, pure white head. A pleasant simplistic malty pale, no doubt designed to be drunk by the pint watching the Town.

330ml bottle from a biscuit shop somewhere in Brittany. Hazed dull gold, small white head. Old yeast nose, smudged malt. Tastes a bit of cardboard. Thought it would have more mezcal notes but none I can detect. Bit dull.
