Oct 28, 2009 Fizzing amber with a tight lacing collar. Sweet caramel, grass and tea aroma with orange and honey dabs. Pleasant enough bread and honey with a cherryish back note. Slight, but at 3.2% you’ve got to make some allowances..

Jun 17, 2009 Bottle. Golden and poured with a medium head. Some bitterness and a thin body. Not an unpleasant drink just weak and lacking any kind of personality.

Aug 9, 2008 [275ml bottle at Letchworth Hall Hotel, Letchworth] Tried this at my mate’s wedding reception in a desperate search for a decent beer at the bar (and having already established that I didn’t much fancy the Courage Best and John Smiths...) My first mouthful of the first bottle tasted sweet and malty, with lots of caramel. I thought I was going to enjoy it, and soon finished it. Despite it having got noticeably less enjoyable with a definite papery feel towards the end, I ordered a second bottle. The taste continued to degeneate the more I drank, leaving a rather unpleasant pricly metallic bitterness in the aftertaste. I wonder if my initial enjoyment was just because it was better than the dire John Smith’s I’d finished just before? Still, this is pretty poor fare.

Feb 19, 2008 275ml bottle from the Three mariners, Hythe, Kent - BBF 31/10/08. Gold with a white head; grassy aroma; lacking in flavour, some caramel malt, and not as heavily carbonated as a traditional light ale; dry biscuit finish.

Sep 7, 2007 Bottle. Nose is sour grains. Pale transparent yellow. Boring but not terrible. Definitely not a proper bitter.

May 3, 2007 Bottled. This was one of my first beers tasted - the main memories are a very slight, sweet caramel aroma followed by flavours of water, water and a touch more sweetness. A slightly dry finish. Thankfully things got better....
