Bland, nondescript bitter with an appropriate name. Sweet bready aroma, a little granny smith apple taste. I’m a sucker for nitro-infused beers in the appearance stakes, but this is dull as.

1/12 Bought a 0.5 l nitro can with Doggythedog in English store, Antibes. It poured copper body with typical medium sized cascading head. Caramel and biscuit aroma, nice and pretty strong. Interesting how it’s not killed with that nitro head. Flavor is typically weaker, very thin, slightly biscuity and cardboard bitter. Very watery and thin in body, with short, but fine, now slightly sweetish caramel finish. Quite good, but it only had somewhat more body, which is on the other side typical for Bitters.

Can without the nitrogen: Also know as John Smiths Origibal Bitter,an amber coloured brew with some fruity taste and bitter finish. And now the can version with nitrogen: Draft like pouring and almost the same taste and appearance the original one.
