500ml can (M&S)
Sweet carrot aroma. Tastes of tinned tomatoes. Some corniness later. Dull mass-produced bitter. Uninspired.

can, grass and grain aroma, golden, clear, minimal head, medium bitterness, light sweetness, light body, thin feel, slick feel, soft carbonation, bitter, nothing special but average drinkable bitter for good value

440ml can. Amber with a thick off-white head; stewed aroma; stewed caramel malt flavour; a faint hoppy tang to finish, but there is nothing to redeem this.

Can. Light amber gold with a thin head. Aromas are light kiwi, citrus and melon with toast and cardboard malts. Floral with hints of pineapple. Flavours are thin malts with soda water and a lightly fruity finish. Some nutty hints. Lacks body.

5th March 2010. Pre ZBF. Can courtesy of Harrisoni - Cheers Ian. Pale gold beer. Lagerish malt. Dry. Uninteresting bitter with no hops!

Can. Reddish body with thin but lasting white head. Aroma of sugar, caramel, vanilla, hops and a hint of chocolate. Pretty thin bodied and bit oily. Tasted sweet at first. Becomes more bitter, especially in the finish. Starts off pretty bad and first but gets better the more you drink it. Average overall.

Canned. Golden with thin white head. Nose of honeyish malt, fruit and dusty hop notes. Flavour is very thin - some honey malt and very low hop character. There’s also a metallic tang that lingered to the finish. Not great.

Can at pre ZBF 2010. Cardboard on aroma. Bad bitter. Not very good to be honest and I apologise to everyone for bringing this to such a good event.
