Fresh nitro, fruity ale aroma. Weak brown-red coloring, clingy bone-colored foam, pretty cool can. Lightly furit tart, mild bittering. Lightly tart, loitering fruit and hop finish. Fairly dull.

Bottle from Asda. Deep amber with no head and slight carbonation. Bready malts, a hint of fruit and lightly bitter finish. Nothing to praise, nothing to criticise either, a totally neutral beer.

Bottle. Amber colour, small head, soft carbonation. The smell is roasty, fruity, the taste’s sweet, flavour’s dried fruity. Aroma of roasted malt and citrus hops, the finish is hoppy-bitter, citrus liked and dry on palate. A medium bodied and easy drinkable average kinded bitter with a pleasant hoppy aftertaste.
