Can. Amber with medium head. Aroma of grass, nuts, bread and some fruits. Quite sweet flavor. Hoppy, bitter finish. Not bad but a little thin.

Bottle from Sainsburys. Clear, copper in colour, with slight carbonation and a decent, tight off-white head. Aroma of bready malts, with a touch of caramel and brambly hops. Sweetish, malty flavour, with plenty of fruit, a slight nuttiness and a decent bitter finish. Good.

50cl bottle. One of the better bitters I´ve tasted. Poured a large head, smooth, with quite dry hoppy aftertaste. Recommended!

Sweetish malty aroma. Amber with large head. Flavour is caramel, raisins, apples and alcohol. Medium body. Finishes with hoppy bitterness. Not bad.

50cl bottle, as shown. Slightly hazy dark copper colour; medium, quickly disintegrating off-white head with some lacing on the glass. Mild, nutty aroma of malt, with some dark fruit in the background. Medium-bodied, with low carbonation, creamy (but not quite oily) mouth feel. Smooth notes of warm, roasted malt, black cherries and orange peel create a refreshing sweet-and-sour taste. Short, medium bitter finish, dry hoppy aftertaste. Certainly not for those who like their bitter with a capital "B", this should nonetheless rate highly as a smooth-drinking session beer.

It poured a dark sligthly foggy golden copper liquid with a medium sized foam that left allot of lacing. IT had a scent of grassy hops (dry hopped?), flowers and fresh cut grass. It was smooth and tasted watery with a light body. But it also had a taste of flowers, caramell, fudge. Very easy to drink.
