"This looks the absolute business," says Craig, "no expense spared here, clearly". "10 out of 10", says Steve, "wow. They've gone to a lot of trouble with the bottle." It's a an 'amber ale', so much more like a real English ale than a lager, so "would make a great ale replacement if that's your thing," says Craig, while Steve appreciates the "fuller" taste which "hides its low-alcohol content well". Ian's not an ale fan which explains his 5/10 scoring.
