Oct 2, 2006 Very acceptable indeed as an ’own brand’ bottle from Asda. Deep deep colour/full head, which dissipates, but laces. yup, enjoyed this one, especially since it has been on offer for a while at £1.00 a bottle. Not spectaculer (seems to lack just a wee bit of something), but safe and enjoyable.

Jan 9, 2007 Bottle, pours burnished copper colour - almost ruby - with a foamy white head. A pleasant rich malty aroma, but the flavour is more dominated by hops that cut through the richness and caramal malt. On the downside, I agree that it is a little thin and has a slight metallicness. Better than most Shepherd Neame brews though, and surprising that they have let it be branded Asda.

Jan 25, 2004 Bottled. Bronze, good lasting white head and moderate condition. Some butterscotch and caramel in the nose, Thin and metallic in the mouth with some fruity malt and caramel. Quite dry finish with some sweet caramel and a developing low hop bitterness.

Mmm, what a hidden little gem this beer is. Obviously, being an ASDA own brand, one is immediately put off. However, on closer inspection the bottle indicates that this is a Shepherd Neame beer, which is always a good sign. It’s a darkish brown in colour and has a strongish, fairly hoppy taste with a nice malty flavour. In my opinion, this is what a Spitfire/Bishop’s Finger love child would taste like! Very good, well done ASDA and Shepherd Neame!

Oct 4, 2009 Plentry of roast flavour and body and a good aftertaste of blackcurrants. Taste lingers well on the tongue and throat. As supermarket label beers go, this is one of the best and currently on sale at £1.00.......

Feb 8, 2005 A brownish bitter with a medium sized head on pouring.More like a bitter tasting mild or brown ale than a bitter.Quite pleasant for one of those beers that you often see on the shelf at ASDA but ignore.

Nov 13, 2006 Looks pretty standard for a bitter - chestnut brown with a white head. Malty aroma and stridently bitter taste. Excellent value.

Jul 19, 2008 Light amber colour with a small white head. Smell of flowery hops with a flowery hoppy taste.
