| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | Sep 5, 2009 [Nitrokeg at O’Neills, Reading] Pours amber with a moderate creamy nitrohead. It’s years since I last drank this, and I remembered it as being very bland, so I was quite surprised to find some flavour in there. Light malt aroma. Smooth (thanks to the nitro) but watery mouthfeel. Tastes initially a little lemon, then a sudden hint of honey before caramel and that fake squirty cream take over. The bitter metallics of pasteruisation once again ruin what might be an OK (if not great) beer. Better than most keg bitters though. gunnar (577), Sandnes, Norway
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Aug 9, 2009 440 ml can. Pours amber with a small creamy white head. Some malt in the nose. Taste is weak malty, smooth mouthfeel, sweet aftertaste. andersand (384), Malmö, Sweden
| 1.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 5/20 | Jul 18, 2009 "Chill until blue" it says on the can, so I take it out of the fridge and put it in the freezer then I wait. I wait and I wait and nothing ever turns blue, I feel the can and it’s as cold as it gets without freezing, okey, time to serve. Beer is clear copper with a small white had. Aroma is next to nothing, perhaps light caramell and some minerals. Mouthfeel is smooth, pretty close to flat and watery. Flavour is a bit chemical with light burnt caramell notes, minerals and a nasty light bitterness lingering for a while. Not pleasant at all, then again, maybe I have to suite myself since I never let it turn "blue". MrRoss (617), Delta, British Columbia, Canada
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 17, 2009 This poured from the can into a nice dark amber, and a good-sized creamy head. Aroma was a bit subdued although malt was in evidence. Taste was nicely malted, not overly so, and refreshing. Fullers74 (61), Denmark

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jul 3, 2009 Can, 44cl (4% ABV) - Clear amber colored beer with a small creamy off white head. Aroma is malty with fruity notes and with hints of caramel. Flavor is sweet malty with notes of dried fruit and bread. Lightly carbonated with a unique flavor, not overly interesting though. weaselkenievil (738), Cheshire, England
| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Jun 24, 2009 On tap at The Brewers, Macclesfield. I love the Brewers but the beer is rubbish. Caffreys (the cold version here) was freezing cold. Gave me brain freeze. Wankers. Bronze colour with thick creamy white head. Very average. Malt and hops, watery mouthfeel. Light bitter finish. Low carbonation. Not awful but I’d rather not drink again.
