2.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
This smells sweet similarly to ESB but tastes pale and bitter. Hard to find an edge over the competition, but then, this is not worse also.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Middle of the pack for this brew. Decent flavor, but nothing exceptional. Aroma, appearance and palate all average. Drinkable, but not worth remembering.
2.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 5/20
Refreshing clean taste. Very light amber colour, caramel and cereal hints. Easy to drink but lacking in satisfaction.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Very bright clear pale orange yellow with small lasting white foam head, lacing. Aroma of fresh cut grass, some flowers. Taste is strange, not like a bitter. Short aftertaste, undefined. (Velp 201304)

2.3 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
From the archives: This is one of the first bitters I have tried when I was in UK 8 years ago. I had a paint on a train, and it was amazing to my taste (previously I was drinking only weak pale lagers). Not so aromatic - reminds me of old pears. Pours clear light amber, no head, soft carbonation. Pleasantly bitter, slightly sour, a bit of yeast in the after-taste. It is watery for ESB, but ok for plain bitter. Does not make premium bitter for me. Good when enjoyed on its own. Prawn cocktail crisps suit this on amazingly well.
