This is Shepherd Neame's festive offering, called Tins'Ale (which is a terrible name!). My first proper 'Christmas Beer' too.500mls, 4.0% abv, not bottle conditioned, and bought from Lidl a couple of weeks ago, so it might still be available.
Light orange brown in colour, the head is surprisingly big to start with, reducing to a good white ring.
Light peppery aroma with malt and oranges.
The taste is quite spikey, spices and bitterness rule, although i'm not picking up anything distinct. Its got a strong malt backbone, pruney fruit too. Quite gassy.
Its an okay bitter, nothing more than average though.
