Nov 30, 2009 Bottle from Sainsbury’s. Amber with a white head. Aroma of toffee and forced carbonation. Flavour of toffee and slight caramel bitterness without much hop presence. Why can’t GK make the effort to try doing something a bit different every now and again? Yawn!

Oct 16, 2009 Bottle. Dark amber with a one finger - though quick to dissipate - off-white head. Boiled sweets, caramel malts and toffee apple aromas. Apples, spices and caramel dominate the flavour. Quite a thin body with medium carbonation and a short bitter finish. It’s Greene King, it’s a pasteurised brown bitter. You do the maths.

Sep 25, 2009 Bottle from Sainsburys. Red-amber in colour with a slight, off-white head. Earthy malt and sweet fruit aroma. Flavour of barley sugar, with some more earthiness and short bitter finish. Unmemorable.

Sep 21, 2009 Bottle from sainsburies had at home. Alround rating: Toffee and caramel malts, the green king appley yeast is there but a bit of fruitcake manages to stay ontop of it. A better than usual offering from green king.

Sep 20, 2009 Bottled, 500ml from Sainsburys, Banbury. Chestnut with cream head. I tensed myself up for the GK ’taste experience’, and it wasn’t there, in fact this was fairly pleasing. Caramel and soft fruits, quite light and restrained with a hint of coriander. Not a world beater but reasonable and quite drinkable.
