Commercial Description:
Bottle; Pasteurised.
This exceptional ale is brewed to the exacting standards required by the Soil Association Certification Ltd. of the United Kingdom. The malt is prepared from Organically grown Scottish barley. The hops are grown in New Zealand where the absence of pests means high quality hops can be grown organically. The pure water comes from the rolling Scottish Border hills. The end result is a light golden coloured beer full of flavour and aroma. A refreshing clean tasting beer with an excellent hop aroma and aftertaste.

Not bad at all, I found this ale a bit thick and heavy though it doesnt taste like very complex. I prefer this over Rapunzel organic though. Little head, dark golden colour, malty and well balanced aftertaste.

500ml bottle as Marks & Spencer Organic Ale, purchased at a M&S store in Edinburgh. Golden brown body. Fast fading white head. Smooth smell of dried fruits and caramel malts. Some sweet marmalade in flavour with weak bitter ending. Foamy and quite fizzy in the mouth. Medium bodied [I finally managed to establish the identity of this one, which I consumed at our hotel room in Edinburgh,15.11.2008].

Bottled. A mid gold coloured beer with a sticky patchy off-white head. Soap, malt and perfumed hops in the nose. Tastes a little oxidized and has cardboard and damp carpet. Sweet with thickness in the body. A little sickly.

Bought as M&S Organic Ale. Amber coloured with a big, frothy off-white head that proved short-lived. Aroma of floral hops and orange fruit. Flavour of earthy malt, marmalade and peppery hops, with a moderately bitter finish. Fine.

Quite a surprisingly pleasant beer, sampled as Marks & Spencer Organic ale. It poured a light colour with a larger slightly off white head. The nose was fresh and with a combination of hops with a light, sweet fruitiness. This continued through to the mouth; a nice balance that left a clean crisp taste with a slight note of lingering hops. Not the greatest beer on the planet but fine for a hot summers day.
