| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 16, 2006 Bottle picked up at Morrisons, Aylesbury, Tues 8th August. Thought that I’d already rated this but evidently not. Light amber coloured, very clear quite malty little bit toffee and chewy didn’t really strike me as a 5.7%er not at all, touch on the sweet side with some hop presence, this was fine enough but I’ve had a lot better.
