500ml bottle from Utobeer (courtesy Jan) drunk on 4 December 2010. No best before date but may have been a bit long in the tooth as the brewery closed in 2009. Didn’t seem to have suffered too much though. Amber colour. Clean and bright appearance. Good condition. Dry. OK, fairly standard brown bitter in a quite traditional style.
