3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/2050cl bottle from Morrisons. A deep amber pour with a thick cream head; the aroma is sweet, floral and grainy - reminding me of a Baviarian kellerbier - but also has an earthy quality - I don’t know what a German farmyard smells like, but I guess this might be a good representation! In the mouth it’s malty and sweet and surprisingly full with some soft caramel in the background; there’s some quite spicy bitterness and a rather dry spritzy finish. This is surprisingly good for 2.7%ABV - I’d willingly follow it up with another.

3 do 3 under 3 may have enjoyed this more than the others. Though they may have indeed done this one. I just can’t remember. Still, at least all 3 do appear to be alive, we all thought one may be dead.

2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
500ml Bottle from Morrisons (£1.50):
Light floral and hop filled aroma with some light, caramel malts and some lemony, citrus notes on top of these. There is a slight metallic aroma around the middle and it is rounded off with a little fruit and spice.
Orange amber with a creamy looking, thumb sized white head, some lacing & good retention.
Earthy malts, a little spice and some earthy hops as well. There is a little citrus and some fruity bitterness. Pretty bland and watery at parts with some bitterness.
Light medium bodied and quite clean and crisp with a sharp, citrus tang and moderate bitterness. Overall the beer is a little watery though and carbonation is low to medium.
Very average, relatively low strength beer that was a little bland and unexciting with every flavour to subdued with them all just blending together in one pretty poor beer.

Bottle from Rehills, Newcastle. Dark amber coloured with slight floral flavours, light burnt toffee notes and a sweet, light finish. Not bad for a low ABV beer.
