Bottle that I picked up at Tesco? Aylesbury recently, consumed 29-03-09 Pours amber with a white head. Fruity with some bitterness, there are some toffee flavours swirling around, sweet maltiness and the finish is a little dry and bitter. Its ok but nothing I would particularly feel should be worthy of a revisit. A6 A3 F5 P3 OV12 2.9

Bottled, 500ml, pasteurised. From Queensway Co-Op, Banbury. Red amber with white head. Soft, full bitter, mid roasted malts with a touch of biscuity sweetness and a soft fruitiness then a dry bitter hoppy finish. Pretty decent.

(Bottle 50 cl) Clear, amber golden with an off-white head leaving laces. Nutty aroma. Medium body with a dry malt base and some nutty accents. A light fruitiness. The finish is dry and fairly bitter. Quite OK. 230107

Amber colour with a slim white head. Fruity and malty aroma with that slightly stale pasteurised smell you often get. Taste is malty and sharp with a bitter finish. Thin bodied and a bit watery. Not very good, although not offensive.

Hazy orange, foamy off-white head. Sharp fruity and citrusy aroma with cheese tones. Sweet and rather odd. Malt, fruit and hop flavor with banana notes. Bland.

Bottled. Deep golden, rich head. Hay like hops accompanied by a pleasant, soft malt back bone. Dry. Balanced bitterness.
