Not really that great the flavour in all truth lets it down a little, was hoping for more, going off badger beers a little bit right now, this is tough going yes

Bottle 500ml from Somerfield. Pours a clear orangey brown colour with a thin off-white film for a head. A hoppy aroma but nothing special. This follows through to the taste, hoppy but little to distinguish it from the most average of ales. Quite thin and watery. Bitter aftertaste but not exactly long lasting. I guess you get what you pay for, this bottle cost £1.23 and I still think it is overpriced!

99p Bottle from Somerfield. After two rancid Badger beers in a row I had worries about this. Pours a brown colour with a lasting head. Aroma of a sticky, malty bitter, slight sourness. Flavour is quite sweet with a harsh bitterness and lots of biscuity malt. Hard to say exactly but it reminds me of a lot of cheaper, mass produced bitters, poor ingredients?

Keg, as Extra smooth, in the Masons Arms, Marylebone, London. Muddy brown, aerated, big soapy head. Ok, a quick half for a rating, its just an homogenous mess really, full of Nitrogen, burping for England afterwards. It’s done now.

Bought from Sainsburys. Pours a brown colour beer. Nose is of malt and molasses with faint hops. Taste is malty with bitter hops. Average.
