3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
[500ml bottle, gift from Mum & Dad - cheers!] Pours very clear copper, swiftly diminishing off-white head. Malt and lemon aroma. Good, rich bready maltiness with some fruit in the background. Decent, well-balanced clean bitterness in finish. Alright, it’s not complex, but it’s a damn fine malty bitter, with a good depth of flavour considering the low ABV. Nice one!
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
50cl bottle bought in Hartney Whitney. Amber with a ring of white head; berry fruit aroma; chewy marmalade malt flavours; pleasant light bitter finish. A surprisingly full bodied bitter.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle (22/10/10). Burnt caramel in the nose then berries in the early taste. Nice, satisfying, above average beer.
2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
Bottle. Standard bottle bitter, bit of malt and a bitter finish. Quite one dimensional really.

2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle. Sweet, honey aroma. Slightly cloudy beer. Copper in colour with a thin white head. Thin flavour of hops. Bitter and refreshing but just left lacking.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
A bit cloudy with a small white head. Fruity aroma with a taste of fruit and hops lightly malty. Doesn’t have much body. Has lacing on the glass.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
A Sim rate (bottle from Waitrose): Malty aroma like a horlicks or maltesers. Sweet, yet pungent. Biscuits. Bread. Yeast. Not much to the flavour. Slight bitterness in the finish. It’s not as beautiful as Daze. And not nearly as sweet.
