Solid English bitter. Sweet malts, some fruitiness, but slightly drying hops. Leaves you wanting more.

Bottle thanks to mother. Aroma is primarily malty, biscuity, floural and grassy hop. Taste is similar quite yeasty and biscuity. Not bad all the same.

Mild light malt nose. It is shy and quiet or just week of spirit. Bitter finish after slight sweetness. Eh

Light coppery colored, little yellow head. Sweet, caramelly aroma, not too good one though. Thin to medium bodied. Flavor starts with same sweet caramelly note, one could say that bland TEA comes up. Aftertaste dries slightly with hops.
