Block (363), West Lafayette, Indiana, USA Jan 13, 2009 Yellow pour with a white head. Aroma and flavor of sweet malts. Not bitter at all. No hop aroma or flavor. Very light. mkel07 (494), Brisbane, Australia Jan 13, 2009 440ml can. Poured with very thick creamy white head that lasted right till the end. Dark amber in colour with a good body. Very thin tatse with strong bitter aftertaste. dutch23mp (160), Mount Prospect, Illinois, USA Jan 11, 2009 1pt can imported to USA. Golden in color slightly on the sweet side. Perhaps better on tab or better yet in person in an English Pub. I thought it had the taste of a watered down tap beer. PKPMarine (32), San Diego, California, USA Jan 10, 2009 Pours medium dark and very hazy/creamy. Lightly malted flavor with moderate hops. Nice smooth, creamy texture until the nitrogen wears off. Then its just kind of boring. I’d give it a 3.5 fresh from the tap, drops a full point if you let it sit too long. topherh (878), Kearney, Missouri, USA Jan 8, 2009 Pours hazy golden. Very creamy of white head. Faint aroma of wet grain. Flavor is lightly malty. If this is stronger than their bitter than I don’t think I want to try it. There just isn’t a lot of flavor here. durhambeer (1186), Durham, USA Jan 5, 2009 Tasted out of one of the fancy cans. Clear deep gold pour with big creamy off-white head. Mild floral hops, but more sweet malt and honey. This is an uninteresting brew, but I also find it inoffensive and easy to drink, though it tends to fill one up more than anything else. tgncc (796), Bellmore, New York, USA Jan 5, 2009 faint aroma, and what is there is stale, and like a barnyard. Maybe light floral hops underneath. The appearance is a straw gold with a tinge of red. Creamy white foam head, persists throughout. The flavor is very boring. It is an earthy, malty flavor, with a saltyness, and very low bittering hops at the end (why do they call these Bitters?). The mouthfeel is watery, the finish is gone in a flash. This is my first true bitter style beer, and I am sure I will not actively seek them out. 502Flavors (617), Louisville, Kentucky, USA Jan 5, 2009 Had this on nirtro tap at a local sports bar. It wasnt that bad and by the end of the glass I had a very different opinion of it. Because I am a sucker for nitro brews I was willing to give this a 3.5 or so at the beginning. But, as the nitro creaminess faded as by beer sat longer, I began to realize that this thing really isnt special. Not bad, but not great. Not the best nitro either.
