Bottle, 4.7%. Green apple aroma. Pale golden colour, small white head. The flavour starts off a little sweet, turns hoppy, not very bitter, but with some grassy hops and a rough finish.

500ml bottle (Sainsbury’s)
Pale gold, brief head. Weetabixy and light hoppy aroma. Some cornflakes, and sweet. Quite fizzy palate, hot harsh. Earthy taste, reasonable full light malt body, quite biting bitter noble hops. As it warms the aroma becomes more like buttered toast, and the burntness comes over more in the taste too. Has ups and downs over time - at its best its very full and tasty, at its low it’s plain and corny. Feels quite sophisticated and well made though.

Bottle: Slightly hazy, mid-sized, slowly collapsing white head; moderate fruity-hoppy nose; bitter-sweet flavour, light to medium bodied; lingering bitterness in the sweetish fruity-hoppy finish. Decent.....
