1.4 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 5/20
Can, pasteurised. Pale amber with fizzed head. Was given a can of this whilst watching the England vs Wales Footie, the beer was as pathetic as the welsh effort, little substance a bit over the top, just fizz really. Some points for staying in contention but thats all.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
On tap (nitro) at a bar in Petersburg. Copper colored pour with slow guiness style creamy foam rising to the top. Served in this way, it resembles more a cream ale than an actual bitter. Aroma of light cereals, lots of caramel, light english hops - none of the usual veggie aromas, smells fresh. Taste is kind of watery, light caramel and slight cereal finish. Palate is light and creamy, very drinkable. This beer could use a bit more flavor, it’s a little too watery. Very easy drinking though.

Listed as Brains Smooth Extra Cold 3.7%. I guess this is the same beer. Pours a large white head with a golden hue. The aroma is sweet malty honey. The flavor is spicy and glue-like hops, light flavors in all. Some light malt. OK.
