500 ml bottle, from M & S Food, Brighton. Brewed by Adnams for M & S. ABV is 4.2%. Dark brown colour, moderate off-white head. Spicy aroma. Spicy flavour too, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger and allspice, also notes of raisins, fruit cake, orange zest and lemon zest. Not too sweet, but too low ABV for a winter warmer.

Halfpinf from keg in a pub in Brighton. I just HAD to sample the infamous Madri. Golden colour, white head. Sweetish aroma of pilsener malts and some grassy hops. Sweet flavour with a slightly sharp bitterness in the finish. Utterly forgettable.

Taster from keg at ibis Hotel Brighton City Centre. Golden to orange colour. Terrible aroma and flavour of artficial "mango", also hints of artificial "passionfruit". I like real mango, occasionally even in beer, but not this crap. There is no way I could have finished a pint of this.

440 ml nitro can, alcohol free stout, from a grocery store in Brighton, consumed at home. Black colour, moderate but nice and creamy nitro head of good retention. Malty and roasty aroma and flavour, surprisingly similar to the "ordinary" Guinness Draught. Well, not identical, of course, but more than good enough when you need a n/a alternative.

Clear and pale golden pint from keg, at The Grand Central, Brighton. Decent hops in aroma and flavour, but unfortunately the beer is ruined by strong notes of butterscotch / diacetyl, probably from dirty lines, and certainly not intentional. Would sample again from another pub with clean lines.

330 ml can, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 6.5%. Murky yellow colour, moderate white head. Distinct aroma of oranges and tangerine. Flavour also of oranges and tangerine, hints of grapefruit and pine needles. Moderate but noticeable bitterness. Very refreshing. Must be good with the Danish Christmas duck or goose.
