If anyone is interested this bottle pale ale is on "try me for free" offer in Tesco and Asda (and probably others) at present. The redemption is via post with circled till receipt and neck label as proof of purchase.
It's a lovely and unsual pale ale style beer - I guess that the unusually deep and hoppy smell and flavour comes from the US hops (Tettnang hops). Very nice but possibly a little too easy to drink and maybe a little too light in terms of taste.
