Bottle. This beer poured a small sized white head that was smooth and creamy and contained fine-small sized bubbles that mostly diminished. The aroma was malty, lightly hoppy and sweet. The flavor was lightly bitter at the start and finished lightly hoppy. The mouthfeel was very smooth and this was a light-medium bodied beer with fair lacing. This was a very smooth and easy drinking Bitter.

500ml bottle. Clear golden-tan color. Nice carbonation and head. Aroma is mildly sweet, and very fresh. The taste is mildly bitter as the name would suggest, with a nice chewy body. A rich and full-bodied beer for 3.6%. Delicate honey tastes and a nice fruity/malty finish. Delicious beer.

This bottled brew poured a Medium sized head of fine to medium sized white colored long lasting bubbles that left behind a good lacing. The body was a slightly hazy carbonated light brown colored one and the aroma was a mild malt hop one with a mild bitterness to it. The mouth feel was smooth and slightly tingly. The flavor was that of malt hop mild bitter and was clean crisp and remarkably good. Overall, it is a very pleasant drinkable brew.

Bottle. Amber color with a thin white head. Light grainy aroma. Flavors of light biscuits and oats. Balanced and clean. Makes you wonder if there should be more to this one, but still invites you back. Some herbal flavors with a crisp dry finish.

Frothy caramel coloured bitter with a toffee aroma and a dryly bitter flavour. Overall a good quality bitter.
