1.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
My bottle conditioned version had 5.5%ABV, not the 4.7% as stated on here and BA.
Anyway the 500ml brown bottle had a best before date of Oct 2011 and was taken late July 2011.
The beer is mid-amber with an off-white head of small bubbles. Pale and Crystal malts only, so darker than I thought would be the case.
Sadly the beer wasn’t very good, it had a dry almost metalic aftertaste and no foretaste either: a big let down from start to finish.
This really was a ’nothing beer’. I found hints of malts and hops, but not enough to comment on.

Cask conditioned handpump Wetherspoons Birmingham. A golden beer with a tight whitish head and lacing. A lemony bitter. Creamy due to the tight sparkler. Light and easy to drink. A subdued aroma but sessionably flavoursome.

500ml bottle, 5.5%. Pours a very hazy orange with a large, frothy head. Aroma is fruity hops and bready malt. Not much to taste to start and then a paracetamol dryness. Very bitter finish and too much carbonation.

3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Big head on pouring which took up half the glass. This took time to dissipate. Sharp bitterness with a medium body. A well bottled BCA which is always a bonus. A bit bitter for my taste but still a nice drink.
