Draft, clearly not cask and filtered at Heathrow T5, V bar. Pours clear and golden orange with a creamy off-white head. Aroma is caramelish and roasted. Smooth carbonation, could be nitro. Bitter and light caramelish roasted. Lingering roasted finish and vague metallic note.

Amber coloured. Slightly ashy nose. Fruity and medium bodied. Solid, but one-dimensional.

Canned. Copperish colour, creamy big head. Mild sweet aroma. Caramellish sweet flavour mixed with hoppy bitterness. The bitterness grows in finish. Not much aftertaste.

Bottle at blind tasting. Copper colour. Not sure but could be pasteurised. Some cereal flavour. A bit dull. British bitter I would guess. Some herby hop. Hey, I got 2 things right. Its a British bitter and it was pasteurised.

Bottle at the Friendly Floatel, Northwich 31/08/2001 Mid brown very malty some alcohol and a slight hop finish.

Can (BB 08/2005)
Copper brown, thick creamy and brown nitro-kind-of head. Mild flowery aroma, slightly metallic. Creamy, smooth, watery. Sweetish hops and mild mouthfeel. Not much aftertaste. Really nothing special but actually ok session beer.

Amber color, OK head. Malty, fruity aroma. The flavour has the same notes and it’s an uncomplicated beer without anything special.

Poor imitation of the great beer this used to be. Very little hops and too over fizzed by far
