Draught @ West 50, Mississauga, ON: Orange in colour, thick nitro head and the last elements of a reverse cascade as it arrived. Aroma is an absentee landlord, very hard to discern anything but subtle sweetness. Flavour is actually quite nice, but very watery and not at all assertive. Still, for something a little sweet, nutty, and malty, she’s not bad. The dude with the 0.8 needs to stop rating glasses and start rating beer.

Reminded me of a Boddingtons. The widget went off and a creamy white head ensued. Does have a honey colour. Abit fish oily and sweet with a few citrus notes. Could have more substance.

Keg. Almost always available in Scottish pubs. Used to rely on this pint a lot to give me a good stomach lining. Can be known for its metallic taste, red currants. Dark body.

on tap at the black bull, Killearn. Pours lovely amber with frothy head, like a kilkenny. For norwegian, this is like coming to beer heaven, but for connossieurs it’s more like burger king; OK...
