Clear golden color with a nice sized head that dissapearded pretty quick. Mellow malt aroma that also had a bit of tin. Taste is a bit earthy and bitter. Tastes like some sort of macro crap. Not impressed at all.

Bottle: Aroma is very malty and fruity. Smells kind of like wine. Amber in color with virtually no head (even if you try). Some small sediment floating around. Malty, metallic, caramel, and grassy flavors. Not much carbonation. Not much aftertaste. This beer is not good. Look elsewhere. This has to be a bad bottle or something for some people to give this even close to a 3+, but I'm unlikely to try this again. It's that bad.

Blond color. So simple and useless, I can’t have anything more to tell about…

An orange beer with a disappering head. The aroma is dominated by elderflower. The flavor is dry malty with notes of hops and elderflower.

Hazy yellow beer with a disappearing head. Sweet and stuffy aroma with toffee and caramel notes. Flavor is thin with some fruit and caramel and a dry finish.

Bottled (500ml) from Sainsburys, Beaconsfield, Bucks. Golden, slight head, light to medium carbonation. Malt, honey and subdued citrus, barely hopped. Bitter, almost biscuity aftertaste.

Bottle from Stirchley Co-op, Birmingham. Amber toned beer, with a very wispy white head. Appetizing malty aroma. Biscuity sweet, taste, very malty, with a planty freshness - which may have been a placebo, based on the name of the beer, but which did improve my enjoyment nonetheless. Not massively complex, but pleasant and light, with a good taste to it.
