Gift from SJ. A simple beer with some hop and caramel malt.
The finish had a mild honey, butterscotch and toast in it. It was nice.

on bottle from systembolaget - amber hazy body with a fine white head - very fruity and a lot of hops in the aroma - similar rich flavour with a fresh carbonation makes this a wonderful beer

Can 50 cl. A dark amber colour with a small, white head. An aroma of malt, fruit, toffee and hops. The taste is medium sweet and light bitter. A medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation and a medium long light bitter finish.

Cask at The Sheeps Heid. Pours a reddish golden colour with a thin white head. Aroma is a little sour with barley, caramel and yeast. Similar flavours with some grassy hops and an earthy character. Quite yeasty with a sour lemon finish. Mildly dry and a little thin. Reminded me a bit of Greene King IPA.

En Suffolk-bitter som liksom oftast i södra England har en lite skarpare humleprofil. Fuggleshumlen ger den där blommiga så typiska karaktären. Torr lätt kropp (inte samma sak som tunn eller vattnig) med tydlig sädkaraktär och lite karamell. Stiltypisk bra utan att ha något som gör den verkligt minnesvärd. En bra bitter helt enkelt.

A tick from Crosspoint Tesco? That turns out to be a cheeky, sessionable little beast replete with sherbety, berry-accented jellied orange and coriander-like notes? You’re making this up. Pale ruby with an initially rocky cream head. Sherbety, slightly doggy, cinder toffee aroma. Can sense hops and malt. Good chewy wine gum notes. Clean, undamaged, some earthiness. Adnams continue to surprise. Digestive biscuit and aerosol cream afters. Works for me.

500ml bottle. Clear chestnut pour with a thick head of cream suds. Nutty malt in the nose with some inviting hints of demerara, wood and cherryish fruit. A sniff of bolied-down hop leafiness. Aluminium and oak. Heavily malt-accented nutty bitter with a sweetly biscuity vanilla aftertaste. And a spoonful of vomit.

On draught at the Goose in Bracknell. Amber bitter with a short lived but well formed head. Light fruity head. Light and fruity bitter, pleasant but not excellent. A hint of apricot. A little plain but actually its not very bitter. Better than the average English bitter.
