4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Lovely old fashioned ale, nice taste of hops with a caramel after taste. And at 99p a bottle at aldi has to be the bargain of the month!
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Clear, orange/amber pour with a good white head. Nothing special in the aroma; some malts and fruits. Taste is very malty which leads to a good dry finish with hops.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Inoffensive, bog standard British brown booze. Low carbonation, thin head, malt sweet, no hop presence to speak of.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pale bronze colour, clear, medium head, decent retention + lacing. Malty aroma, some wheat. Tasted a bittersweet maltyness, wheaty finish. Decent character for the low strength. Medium body, slightly coarse, low carbonation. Overall typical session beer, not watery, has good depth for the ABV.
2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
UPDATED: MAY 8, 2013 Clear golden-copper coloured with very little head to it. It has a soapy aroma and texture that’s not too pleasant. Medium bitterness.

2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
500ml bottle received as a present!Nothing left in the house to drink apart from this!Light amber pour with white head which soon subsided.Light aroma of malt and fruit with something metallic- like also in there.Taste as aroma with the metallic note also there again.This is a drinkable and not unpleasant but also totally uninspiring bitter
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
500ml bottle from Morrisons for £1.25:
Earthy malts and a few hints of caramel with some fruity hops. There light citrus and orange notes with a touch of bitterness towards the end.
Light amber with a thumb sized, creamy white head on top that holds well.
Again earthy malts and a spicy citrus taste followed by some very light, floral hops. The taste is a basic one but it’s not a bad one and has a touch of fruity bitterness at the end.
Medium bodied, quite spicy and with an strong, earthy bitterness to it. There is some background citrus and a rather dry finish.
A solid bitter with all the usual flavours making an appearance, it’s not the most exciting beer in the world bit it wasn’t a bad one. It was quite a nice, relatively low strength beer that seems to hit the spot and went down rather well.
2 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Boring English beer. Not terrible or undrinkable but a bit bland. My grandad would probably have drank this type of thing in the 50s.
