This was not a common variety available on the stret. I think it makes sense at is was not memorable. Can't agree with the wine reference but for the label that looked a bit like a merlot or cabernet colour with the regal crest.

This beer didn’t leave a lasting impression Tasted like that Toby beer made by Molson. the Charrington Toby beer, This is better then the Toby.

A bit ’rough’ too much alcohol tatse and not enough ’beer’ taste.
