Bottle. Pours a dark brown colour with a thin white head. Plenty of malt in the aroma, the taste is very malty with hints of caramel and then has a soft dry finish.

Botella de 500ml. Vaso de Pinta. Saboreada en abr´12. Color ámbar y apariencia cristalína. Espuma marfíl de amplia burbuja. Corona que se disipa lentamente y deja encajes semejantes a un código de barras en las paredes. Aromas florales con un toque de pan fresco y levadura. Entrada de lúpulo seco seguida por sabores de malteado medio y gentil matiz de naranja ácida. Amargor limpio que permanece hasta el final. Cuerpo lígero y carbonatación suave. Paladar agradable y pleno de sabor. Final y retrogusto afrutados. Refrescante y de muy fácil asimilación. ¿ Quieres introducirte el mundo de las Bitter Inglesas?. Pues tomate una de éstas. Funciona perfecta para “ir de cañas” con sólo 3,8% ABV. 500ml bottle. Pint glass. Enjoyed on apr´12. Amber color, crystal clear appearance. Off-white, large bubbled, froth. Slowly fading crown creates lacing rings that look like a bar codes on sides. Floral, bready touch & yeast aromas. Dry hoppy upfront followed by mildy malts & gentle acid orange hues. Clean bitterness lingers to the end. Light body, soft carbonation. Pleasant flavorful mouhfeel. Fruity finish & aftertaste. Refreshing. Very easy drinkability. Wanna get into the English Bitter world ? Ok, take one of these. It perfectly works as a session beer with only 3.8% ABV.

Stephanos (864) - NORTHERN IRELAND - SEP 13, 2011
Pours copper brown with finger thick fluffy beige head. Enticing aroma of blackbeery, spicy hops and a little sugar. Initial burst of fruit on the tongue with digestive biscuit swiftly following and a good long bitter finish with the fruit returning. A great best bitter.

Cask conditioned gravity dispense Queen Adelaide Northampton. A classic brown coloured beer with a wispy off-white head. A frjuity and malty beer. Slight tartness in the mouth. Not your typical Crouch Vale beer although the fruitiness is OK.
