Caramel and hop aromas. Smooth caramel upfront turning thin and bitter in the lasting finish. smcolw (314), Wayland, Massachusetts, USA Aug 28, 2009 Decent lace and a lasting head. Pale amber color and reasonable clarity (slight haze)
Here’s something new: I detect something resembling play-dough. The stronger smell is bittering hop. Low dry-ish malt aroma in the background.
A thin beer, particularly for a English Bitter, although it has a proper level of carbonation. Fairly standard stuff here. Nice balance. Not as "British" tasting as some Bitters, but it holds its own.

Flavour is wooden, flowery hoppy, some grass as well as some mild nutty notes as well. Easy to drink and quite pleasant for being only 3.6%.
