Tin round The Jenners. Brassy gold with a thin white layer. Vegetable, rockpool, grass and slight dog aroma. Plenty of paper and wheat beyond almost like a Leffe shandy (never tried it, never will). Paper thin, a touch sherbety, some caramel. Sort of refreshing.

Can. Copper colour with a white head. Very faint malt aroma. Taste is metallic with a little pear drop. The merest hint of bitterness. Chilled mine for consumption after lawn mowing. Result was broadly satisfactory.

Crystal clear coloured golden body with a nice sized white head - much nicer than it’s ’special’ cousin. Aroma of fresh lemons, malt, hops and a bit of metal. Light-bodied; Funky malty flavour with no hops, sweetness or anything pleasant. Aftertaste shows metal and blandness - seriously, this one is water! Overall, definitely passable - don’t worry about picking this up, unless you really want a sub-par english beer! I sampled this 440 mL can purchased at Sainsbury’s in London (Fulham Broadway), England on 08-March-2008.

Can. Had this courtesy of a friend whilst at Towersey Festival. Tastes a bit metallic, slightly toffeeish flavour, not great at all but then I’ve had much worse.

Can. Golden with a small head. Aromas are light caramel with metal. Flavours are (again) light caramel with metal. Has too much prickly carbonation that destroys any character (which it probably lacks anyway). Very bland. Very poor.

Golden amber with off-white head. Fruits (apple) and baking yeast in the aroma. Thin on palate. Slightly papery aftertaste.

Not to much to say however there are some hops going on in the aroma with some better than expected malt caramelk in the taste, little in the finish however increadibly eay to drink.
