2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Pours brown with an average typical white head. Not a lot of aroma. For a bitter it doesn’t have any hoppiness which is too bad. Very sweet caramel taste which finishes with a slight maltiness. Could be worse.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
As the last lot have said, typically english. Easy drinking, not huge on flavour but decent enough for what there is. Toffee, apple, dried fruits. Not too bad
2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
So, so very English, as attractive of a pre-orthodontic Brit. Low on taste, with a big banana and apple soul. Drank plenty in college, yet as the beer geekiness seeped its way into my blood, Bass was forced out. Good when compared to most A-B Inbev dreck, but lead poisoning is good when compared to most beers they brew.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
As English as English can be. Pours a clear coppery-red with nice pile of head. It’s not big on flavour but what’s there is pleasant enough - mostly malts with a bit of complexity - caramel, some fruitiness, balanced by some subtle floral/meadowy hops. Well balanced. English, like I said. Bit of a mineral character to it. It’s clean and crisp and all but unfortunately its just too thin on everything to be rated any higher.

Rich amber/cider color; Medium body; Aroma of malt, & subtle fruit; Flavor of malt, hops, and some caramel; Finish is slightly bitter; Overall, decent macro brew.
2.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 10/20
Clear light amber in color with a foamy head that left better-than-expected lace. Pale malty aroma with no hop characteristic, somewhat like an American macro. Good thing the taste holds up. Sweet nutty caramel malts fill a very modest medium body and lightly carbonated brew. Slight cheese (not in a bad way), very light floral hop on finish and aftertaste. Not bad, but not awesome either.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pours a brass color, with whitish head. Taste is fairly good, with notes of mild hops. Smooth and drinkable. A notch or two above Bud.
2.3 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Pours basically orange with a small fairly loose head and a bit of lace. The aroma is odd, I swear it was corny up front, which gave way to a fruity character, there is certainly some lavender and perfumery aromas to it as well. What an odd smelling beer. The flavor a touch better, but somehow retains that odd lavender and light corn character. The nice parts include a pleasant crispness and fruitiness of the hops, along with the dry maltiness.... hmmm I don’t ever remember disliking this beer. But man... I don’t think I like it very much anymore.
