Its ages since I had this, and even longer since I had it on draft. It tasted good! Great standard British bitter. Light hop and light bitterness. Very easy to drink and get into a session. I don’t care it’s that mass produced it hit the spot at the time.

I hate it when breweries lower the ABV because of the taxman and then don’t lower the price at the pumps!
Anyway: this is a rate for a hand-pulled pint in The Nottingham, Cleethorpes on 9th Nov 2012.
Amber body, the head a thin layer of large bubbles. It wasn’t long before the weedy white foam had turned into a collar only, although a little lacing followed the beer down the glass.
The smell was minimal, some sweetish malts and hints of hops, but not a lot of anything (just like the original OSH).
The taste was sweetish, malty molasses and all that jazz.
Mid-body strength, it was fine I suppose, just would have liked a bit more ’umph’ and alcohol within the brew.
