Magicdave6 (5400), London, Greater London, England Feb 15, 2009 Bottle from Waitrose at home with mesandism. Alround rating: Thin, sweetish, poor quality malts, little hop character. By the time iv finished my quarter of the bottle it was completly flat. MesandSim (5790), London, Greater London, England Jan 17, 2009 A Mes rate. Bottle thanks to Tom. Spewed out of the bottle with considerable force. Pale gold with a thin white head. Full on corn and cereal aroma. Similar flavour with a hint of germoline. Thin and lifeless. Dull as hell and I really don’t see the point of the posh packaging and the fanfair description. Blah. peter48er (127), Liverpool, Merseyside, England Aug 30, 2008 Bottled. A nice refreshing lager type beer with a very short lived white head. OK if you like this sort of thing and I’m sure would be very enjoyable in a normal English summer (whatever that is)!! Not really my thing but no worse, and probably a little better, than the other 2 beers I’ve drunk & rated whilst cooking this evening. maeib (4677), Wootton, Northampton, Northamptonshire, England Jul 15, 2008 Bottled. A pale gold coloured beer beneath fancy "boutique bottle". A decent white head, but it’s short lived. An above average lager, but then Hepworth know how to brew. Some fairly nice floral hops and some grainy sweetness within a creamy texture. Had this staright after mowing the lawn - what a cliche - and it went down nice for that, but it’s not a World beater. hughie (3018), Bedford, Bedfordshire, England May 9, 2008 Updated: May 13, 2008What exactly is this? Boutique Beer? Elegant black and gold wrapper encloses a 330ml bottle of fairly ordinary lager. Bright gold, white head. Sweet grainy malt aroma. Sweet taste. Sharp bitterness. Presumably Waitrose believes there’s a market for this oddity. rauchbier (2993), Isle Of Beer, Lincolnshire, England Mar 17, 2008 Bottle, Waitrose Lincoln. Gold, thin white head and low condition. Gentle fruity grain and slight herbal hoppiness in the nose, a little thin in the mouth with some delicate dryness and a little flowery hop note, gentle dry bitter finish with a trace of grain sweetness lingering.
