Bottled (Kamppi K-market, BB 05/2010)
Clear amber color, small steady beige head. Caramelly, yeasty, nutty-fruity nose. Quite good body compared to 3.4%. Caramel, nutty hoppyness, resiny aftertaste. Simple bitter but it has lots of taste for being so low alcohol.

labelled Adnams Champion; 3,1% - I had this beer many years ago at one time when I was only giving ratings to the beers but was too lazy and stupid to write down my thoughts. I will update this as soon as I get my hands on this beer again.

Bottled, pasteurised, 500ml from Tesco, Banbury. Amber with white head. Straight in to the typical Adnams peppery, dusty hop character, dryish but with some burnt caramalised sugar notes. Mid roast malt, easy on the palate, for the ABV it works, but I’m not sure about the point in having such low ABV beers in bottle.

Bottle. A clear, golden beer with a decent, off-white head. Fruity hops, some slighlty roasted, or bready, malts and some caramel on the nose. The flavor is on the sweet, malty side, with some bready, roasted hints, a little caramel and fruity hops. Low on bitterness. Quite thin on the palate. The finish has a decent bitterness. An easy drinkable session beer that might be a bit boring. (090328)
