50cL bottle, courtesy of argo0. Thanks, Aaron! Pours a bright, clear orange-amber color; mostly headless, with a touch of oiliness and some slight bubbles at the perimeter. Fruity, sugary aroma; a touch sticky and medicinal and flabby. Medium mouthfeel: lightly carbonated; sticky malts and red fruits and sugar; not exceptionally complex, pretty sticky, and some cardboard / toasty malt notes. Medium finish, showing bitterness and stale malts.

Jul 6, 2008 Pours a nice clear ruby/brown color with a bit of a white head. A little malt on the nose, but not much. A little bitter on the first taste, but smooths right out although it’s a little bitter on the back end as well. Not bad, not great. Pretty decent ESB.

Jul 3, 2008 Bottle 500ml from Asda, Bournemouth. A fruity aroma but not anything I could put a name to. Pours a rich amber with a small white head. Fruity taste, as well, but almost like a fruit bubble gum taste. No bitterness at all, slightly sweet. Quite a thin drink. Alright, but not really for me.

Jun 22, 2008 Bottle. Medium high lasting off-white creamy head. Clear dark brown body. Weak fruity aroma with a bit of caramel and just a hint of berries. Mild round and relatively sweet fruity caramel honey flavor with a little bitterness. Low carbonation and a short aftertaste.

Jun 18, 2008 Light brown body with amber at the edges. The thin head clung the edge of the glass and was light khaki. Light notes of black tea are played on with some subtle tangerine. There is also some definite caramel. The taste has some light earthy biscuit and watered down grapefruit. There is a little bit of bitter black tea in the finish. Decent, but the roasted finish throws off the package.
