Served cool from clear (arrrrghhhh) 500ml bottle into pint mug.

L) Medium copper colour, very slight haze, no head, patchy white thin white film. One or two small bubbles rising. Not that good.

S) Clear bottle = skunk. I left the pint for a few minutes before taking another whiff. Not a lot of odour except light toffee / fudgy malt.

T) Things starting to look up a bit. The flavour is light, but we have got chewy toffee-like malt and bits of fragrant hops. Not a lot of bitterness, which is not a bad thing.

F) Clean and refreshing. Nice subtle carbonation. No skanky aftertastes.

O) A bit light on flavour, but worth the small price paid and goes down the gullet nice and easy.

Botttled and sadly clear glass creating a beet that stinks, the aroma is of sweaty armpits
Not much flavour, what there is is good just not enough to make an enjoyable drinking experience

Made for Tesco's.
Lovely aroma of Goldings hop. Equally met with the taste. Only a hint of malt but just enough to add balance. Light spice.
Rather watery and lacking in depth which will pull down the final score.
After the initial smell it was finally let down by a lack of ambition from the brewer.
