Intro: A 330ml bottle with a best before date of December 2017 and poured into a plastic cup (it was all they had at the hotel).

Aroma: Plum, dark fruits, slight sweetness and butterscotch.
Taste: Dark fruits, plum, prunes, grape and caramel.
Mouthfeel: Light to medium bodied with high carbonation.
Overall: Smells great and tastes pretty good, but carbonation was way too high. Other than that, I was quite satisfied.

Intro: A 330ml bottle with a best before date of 7th June 2017 and poured into a plastic cup (all that was available at the hotel).
Appearance: It poured a hazy dark yellow brown colour with a huge three finger off white head with great retention and good lacing.
Aroma: Wheaty, bready, banana, orange and coriander.
Taste: Sweet banana, wheat, bready, orange peel and lemon. But other than the banana, everything else was quite light.

Overall: This was not too bad, but the main thing was that the colour was quite unappealing.
