Oct 6, 2009 Multi-pack from Tesco? Check. Only thing I hadn’t tried? Check. Deeply regret the experience? Check, check and fucking check. I can’t really add to DruncanVesey’s post as it’s spot on.

May 23, 2008 Blond and quite lively upon pouring. Left some lacing. Medium body with a slight ritternet. A reasonable example of this style.

Mar 9, 2008 Bottle in a six pack from Tesco, Worcester Warndon Villages Pours mid golden with a white bubbly head which is very small and disappears quickly. This tastes fine but like a more watered down version of a belgian beer, taste is slightly metallic, otherwise it’s fine if a bit commercial.

Jan 23, 2008 Also a six pack in Tesco, and also because it was the last thing I hadn’t tried there. Average at best and that’s being a bit kind. I felt a bit cheated, bloody tesco. Watery, not offensive but certainly average, at best.

Nov 24, 2007 6pack basketed in Tesco, purely because it was the only beer in the shop I hadn’t tried. Wish I’d left it there. Bilious,industrial cider-like aroma with a trace of banana. Papery grain, stale apple juice and overwhelming off-notes of cardboard. Aggressively fizzy with a sweetener-like bitterness and a wheaty aftertaste. Definitely one to offload on the guests. The ones I don’t like.
