Cloudy red-amber color; creamy head. Too light aroma; a bit aggressive (carbonation; low maturation), not smooth; not enough malt body, not enough hop character. Just a light fruitness and a yeast touch. In the final there are some more evident notes of caramel; the bitterness is average and the hop not enough aromatic.
Finally, it's enjoyable, but as a Bitter it's a failure.

brown colour, big creamy head, beautiful lace, diacetyl notes, low on hops, buttery and slightly floral, lot of carbonation, sweet, medium-bodied, tart with an unpleasant metallic aftertaste - not even close to the style
