3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle from Asda Carlisle. Clean golden colour with a thick, rather large bubbled, white head...it’s lasting well tho! An attractive floral/hoppy nose, and a medium bodied malty palate are both quite nice, this isn’t bad, could easily swallow a few of these! Nice!

2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Brown 500ml bottle consummed during one of my ’random beer tasting evenings’ just on its best before date in Oct 2010..
The beer had an almost dull look to it, dirty gold/amber in colour, neat white foaming head on top.
The aroma was a mild citrusy hop smell, nothing much though.
The flavours were a pleasant blend of hops and malts. Slightly more hops, although the malts were more noticeable in the first instance.
Mid bodyfeel, nothing heavy but certainly not watery in any way.
An OK beer and just above average in most aspects.
