Tap at True Brew as English Bitter. Amber/golden brown colour with big beige head. Very opaque. Aroma is caramel malt, bit cereal, bit biscuit and bit hoppy. Taste is very crisp, bit fruity, astringent, bit of hops, and a biscuity malt aftertaste. Loses its fizz towards the end of the glass but still nice. Finish is bitter, fading to maltiness.

Just a good honest pint of beer. Great hand pump body. A bit of lemon and lime hop goodness with a solid toffee/caramel body. Not really american per se, but definitely a worthy choice.

Cask at Eni-bru as English Bitter, but the Brewer calls it American Pale Ale. they’re all the same, basically. Pale amber with no bubbles at all. Big hop nose with mint, pine, and some citrus. Light, clean flavor and body, very hoppy, with tingly, peppery, menthol finish. Nice and very drinkable.

Yen 1125 on gravity tap at Popeye. Dipensing method shows via very soft tough in the mouth. Quite subtle flavours (read very) but importantly faithful to the style. Could have been served straight out of the Bree Louise in London.
