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.

Bottle from father, which i assume came from tesco somewhere. Aroma is biscuoity and sweet pale malts, grassy bittering hops, hints of orange and spice. Taste is a similar bag of banter, quite sweet and o that side of balanced, decent hop character. I wonder if this is infact joker?

Bottled, filtered, 500ml. From Tesco, Banbury. Malty dry, good looking beer with a vague cereal aroma and some carbonation. Light, not particularly hoppy, crisp and biscuity with a sweetish background. its ok but perhaps too light.

Bottle. Golden brown with a small head. Aromas are sweet caramel and light pine. Flavours are caramel and toffee malts with sweet pine. Herbal with citrus notes. Quite syrupy in its sweetness.

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.

Bottle that I picked up in Tesco, Bicester Rd, Aylesbury and consumed 24-02-09 Have only ever seen this beer in the large Tesco Extra’s. Pours light amber with a white head. Some marshmallow comes through in the mouth and there is no denying this is a touch sweet. Nice beer, reasonable hoppiness, some lychee, its decent. A6 A4 F7 P3 OV13 3.3

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.
