Bottle from Sainsburys. Golden in colour with a big, off-white head and plenty of carbonation. Aroma of subdued citrus and creamy malts. Flavour was sweet, with a touch of butterscotch, chewy malt and a slightly dry finish. A bit lifeless.

Oct 19, 2008 Sweet with a hint of toffee. Light golden colour with a thin head. Taste of fudge with a bitter aftertaste. Not too bad.

Sep 20, 2008 Bottle from Sainsbury. Gold, thin ivory head. Some hop on aroma. Some diacetyl to be honest. Yep, definitely buttery. Not sure if its intentional, but I don’t like butter in my beer. Yep, way too buttery.

Aug 6, 2008 Updated: Oct 5, 2008Cask, The Griffin Inn, Shustoke. Bright and yellowy with a nitro-like creamy softness. Drinks like water. Mildly sulpurous aroma with polite lemony hints. Straw, Malted Milk and oats. Nowhere near enough hop zing to satisfy. Clings with tedious mushy biscuit. Empty.
(50p bottle rate). So subtle it’s not there. Butter and alcohol. Pastry-flavoured lager.
