Yikes. Pretty run of the mill, tastes similar to American adjunct lager with a heftier price tag. If you’re going to spend a couple more bucks , just buck up and get something actually decent.

Pizd (78) - Merseyside, ENGLAND - JUN 10, 2013
(Bottle): Pours amber in colour with medium white head. Weak malty aroma with some faint caramel and hops. Taste notes are the same as the aroma. Very boring.

hens (234) - Tallinn, Estonia, ESTONIA - JUN 6, 2013
0,5L bottle. Sweet malt, yeast aroma and alcohol also. Taste is like wet dog hair smell. Curios flavor in finish. Unispired.

prawlie (870) - Berkshire, ENGLAND - JUN 2, 2013
500 mL bottle from Tesco, Bass No.1 Premium Pale Ale. Amber, with a good head bubbly head. Hoppy and slightly metallic aroma, average. Dry, bitter, crisp and biscuity. Fair, but plain. Boring.

SarkyNorthener (651) - Walsall (Yorkshire Expat), West Midlands, ENGLAND - MAY 24, 2013
Bottle. Copper beer with a medium head and some lacing. Aroma is of malts. Taste is malts and a touch of dry bitterness. Bog standard bitter, a little too carbonated though. OK.

jmgreenuk (1373) - The Hague, NETHERLANDS - DEC 31, 2012
Draft at The Forest, Dorridge, Solihull. Poured a clear copper colour with a big white frothy head and enough lace to curtain a small mansion. The aroma was malty but weak. The flavour was weak bitter, creamy, malty with a slightly metallic aftertaste. It’s not a bad beer, but there are so many beers out there with more flavour these days.

Theydon_Bois (3368) - The ’Sham, Surrey, ENGLAND - DEC 22, 2012
Can on the train from Edinburgh - 08/12/12 cheers to Tom V for the ’Meh’ ! Lightly hazed pale golden with a thin off white head that retains well. Nose is pale malt, light diacetyl, touch butterscotch and caramel. Taste comprises sweet sugar, caramel, biscuit - MEH! Light in body, soft carbonation, light bitterness in the finish. Pretty crap.

Dobre Ale o lekko burszynowym zabarwieniu. Goryczkowe i wytrawne. Na mojej etykiecie widnieje miasto: Burton-On-Trent

Good looker with a nice nose, but the texture is thin and its taste isn’t too evident.
