2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Probably the best of the Boots 4 pack. Reasonable sweet malty biscuit aroma and slightly jammy. Grainy texture and a hint of pineapple and sherbert, to counter the bitter tang. For 3%, this is not bad and has enough character. Nice burnished orange appearance, with a clean, thin white head.
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Live rate round the folks. Bottle out of the Boots gift pack. Bright bronze with disappearing slick of froth. Yeasty, red apple peel and peanut butter aroma. Taste dough, straw-like malt, apple peel, metallic bitterness. Linger of vanilla, dough and paracetamol. Quite a bit of cardboard as it warms. Drinkable.

2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
A Sim rate. Bottle at Chris O’s. Sweet and sugary, smells like cleaning products. Wheaty and bland and just no flavour at all. Ew.

2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle at Chriso Gaylord tasting 09. Pale gold, lasting thin white head. Bland as hell. No real flavour. Decent balance, but some hop sting on finish. Fine, if not too interesting. Good palate cleanser.
