Still gold with a thin white lid collapsing to nothing. Nosebleed on cardboard, vegetable aroma warming with grass, honey and orange suggestions. Papery and a dab grassy with some OK honey-and-cream malt softness. Could almost have a couple of Honey and Lemon Lockets bobbing about in it. Saw it off in the end. rauchbier (3004), Isle Of Beer, Lincolnshire, England
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Nov 23, 2009 Bottle version, from Tesco Grimsby. Deep gold, good lasting white head and gentle condition. Initial muted bitter peppery hoppines in the nose with some low caramel malty sweetness, thin and gentle fruitiness at first in the mouth with a developing tinny and chalky hop bitterness backed with a quite sweet toffee note, brief bitter finish but still with a little sweetness around the edges. berkshirejohn (1840), Bracknell, Berkshire, England
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Jun 26, 2009 440ml can from Tesco. Gold with a fast fading cream head; aroma of malt and caramel; somewhat stewed earthy malt flavours with sweet caramel and gentle bitterness to finish. Not bad for a cheap canned bitter.
