50cl bottle thanks to Lewis. Pours amber with a slim head. The nose has mainly malty and slightly astringent. The taste has some honey and malt. The palate is close to medium bodied with a fairly rich texture and a finish which isn’t too bad, even if not refreshing. Overall, solid but not great.

Poured from a 500ml bottle into a pint glass.
Pours a dark red/amber colour with little to no head, and no lacing either.
Smells faintly alcoholic and malty.
Tastes of medium to dark malts and some nice fruity English hops. Well balanced out with a bit of booziness too.
Overall a nice drop.

Bottle from Tesco Extra, Bridgend, Wales, 21.08.11 Pours dark amber good clarity, white head. Tastes pasteurised too me, soft in mouth but fruity with a decent tang and a dryness at the edge. Malty with some caramel flavours, it’s ok but I’m not a big fan. A6 A4 T6 P3 Ov11 3.0
