3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 TheCametron (802) - SCOTLAND - MAY 29, 2012
Bottle. Clear golden with a bubbly white head. Aroma is a real treat. Sherbet strawberries on a backdrop of malt. Flavour is also surprisingly good. The hops are floral and the malt takes a back seat. A nice dry finish. This beer was far nicer than you might expect from a supermarket own brand.

This IPA has a sweet aroma that exudes the freshness of barley and wheat, and pours with a nice clear colour. It has ample flavour with a short but concise after taste. Simple but yet enjoyable beer for the price.

Bottle from train station. No smell. Lots of yeast in my glass. There’s enough bubbles to keep my yeast globs circulating. Hoppy to start but then watery and cheap tasting at the end.
