Bottle from Tesco, that I had completely forgotten about. Gold, thin white head. Bit maltier than most IPAs I guess. Very drinkable, bit over carbonated. But decent crystallised fruits. Pretty good.

[500ml bottle from Tescos, Bracknell.] Gold with a thin white head; grassy hop aroma; fruity malts flavours with orange and butterscotch, some light hops, but nothing like an IPA. Disappointing.

Aroma of perfume and hops. Golden/ light amber colour. Hoppy, barley bit of sweetness slightly syrupy. Fairly smooth.

Bottle. Yet another impressive beer from Williams Brothers. Orange appearance with a strong presence of hops. Medium body and and overall very refreshing beer. Also a proper IPA rather than a re badged bitter.

Gold with a white head. Spicy hop aroma. Fruity taste, sweet and refreshing, followed by a mid bitter finish. A good decision to get Williams to brew for the ’Finest’ range.

Bottled. A golden orange coloured beer with a generous off-white head. Lovely aroma; typical of Williams. Good hops. Nice orange citrus fruits notes. Welcoming. The taste is hoppy too. Less citrus than expected, and even some nettle and hay. A slight cardboardy aftertaste, but it’s still nice.

50 cl bottle, small tasting with my neighbour Kjetil and his friend Trygve. Bougth in Wales by Kjetil. Amber color, moderate and disappering white head. Aroma is hops and malt, but not much of it. Flavor is the same,. A strange metallic taste, watery and almost harsh. Industrial IPA, and I´m close to say that I didn´t like it.
