3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Appearance: Clear brown amber color with a fine off white head that leaves a nice lacing.
Aroma: Malty, vanilla, fruity and mild hoppy.
Palate: Medium body. Slightly sweet and a fine bitterness. Average carbonation.
Taste: Fruity, malty and a fine hoppy background.
Overall impression: I really enjoy British premium bitter from bottles. A higher carbonation lifts the beer up a bit.
Personal stats: Bottle from Spar at Stansted Airport in Essex, England.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Light amber. Aromas of vanilla, coffee, honey. Sweetness with a sting. Light to medium body. Short finish. OK beer.
4.6 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
An excellent English Bitter. A cautionary note to hopheads: English Bitters balance hops and malt and therefore will not be bitter enough for you. For you I suggest putting a pine tree in a juicer and then adding the liquid to this beer.

May 2012 - Very mild taste, slight liquorice flavour
Aug 2012 - Would say it is mild and sweet with a soft lingering bitterness

500ml bottle. Pours a clear brownish red. Aroma is malted, slightly of twiglets and a little smoky. Taste is pretty good - again, slightly smoky. Hops come through with a bitter after taste. Medium carbonation.

from Imaena amuses me. What do you expect from going in Tesco? Shame a massive supermarket doesn’t consult the all knowing oracle that is ratebeer to only stock beers that rate over 95...

Dark pale ales throw me still...but this does have a decent dark taste to it. tastes stronger than its gravity.
2.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Another run of the mill bitter. how there is space in the market for all of these brews on the Tesco shelves I will never know.
