Bottle from Centra, Oslo. Lovely ruby color. Very fruity, sour cherries, hoppy aftertaste. Lots of aroma packed into this one, shows that you cam make amazing low alcohol beer if you really want to!

500ml bottle at Chris o New Year tasting 08/09. Pale amber, thin beige. Actually quite a nice bitter. Good biscuit. Excellent biscuity bitter. Surprisingly good. Nice. Will definitely be having this again.

Bottle. Bronze with a malty fruitiness. Slightly hoppy finish with more flavour than I had expected considering its low strength.

500 ml bottle, bought in Norway. A new beer from Adnams, developed from their long gone Champion Pale Ale. Amber colour, big off-white head. Biscuits, some malts and a moderate fruitiness in the aroma. The flavour has fruity hops on a decent malty base, and the mouthfeel is very good for a 3.4% beer.

A medium bodied beer with nice citrus fruit nose and palate, slightly (malty)sweet on the finish. Very quaffable, could certainly sink a few of these. Morrisons, only £1.

Bottle. Bronze beer with a strongish head. The aroma is hopped, fruity, toffee and roasted, and the flavour is hopped and toffee. Overall a reasonable beer.

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.
