Nice looking Amber Ale with a creamy white head pours well. Somewhat lacking in smell but there is the aromas of both malt and hops. Excellent taste for a low abv beer, crisp even dry to the taste. Far better than the Light Ales of the pre CAMERA days. Had a good feeling for this beer. A good session drinking Pale Ale.;

Appearance – Pale Amber with one finger of rapidly dissipating head that leaves zero cover and lace with only mild CO2 activity.
Smell – Roasted or stewed vegetables with mild roasted malt aroma and some good hop with a slight citrus leaning
Taste – Heavy roasted malt flavour with some hop. The flavour profile is pretty straight forward and nothing particularly special but it is not terrible either.
Mouthfeel – Feels fairly thin and there is a definite metallic edge that is rather dominant and somewhat ruins the flavour.
Overall – This one is straight forward and tastes good enough with a fondue but it does lack some imagination. It would serve as a good intro to anyone who is into adjunct lager rather than British Ale and wants an easy road in that will not scare them.

A 275ml bottle with a BB of May 2012. Part of a 4-bottle gift-pack from Morrisons (sold off cheap after Christmas).
Poured into a straight pint glass. A clear golden-amber colour wtih medium carbonation. Forms a large head of creamy white foam that lasts for a few minutes before subsiding. Aroma of distinctly grainy malt with hints of candy sugar, fruity ale yeast and subtle flowery hops.
Tastes of grainy malt with a dry bitter finish. Mild notes of earthy yeast and stewed hops, with faint aromatic hints. A reasonable stewed hop bitterness upon swallowing. Mouthfeel is light, dry and tingly, but a little thin. Somewhat astringent. Aftertaste of grain and faint stewed hops.
Not bad, but lacking in character. The graininess is quite nice - conjures up an image of fields of ripening barley. Not too much hop aroma or depth of flavour. Drinkable but nothing special. No need to seek it out.

275ml Brown bottle, best before 1st May 2011, poured into a 'Good People' glass, all the way from Birmingham ALA.
looked fine, light amber clear body and a full off-white foaming head on top.
No huge aroma, but the Fuggles and Goldings give it a slight hop smell.
The taste is crisp and sharp, a good blend of ingrediants. You'd never guess it is only 3.2%ABV by the flavour it holds. Having said that, it is a light ale, so it wasn't going to be rich and heavy in anything really.
Easy to drink and ideal to quench a thirst without taking on board to much alcohol.
