Pours a copper color with an off white head. Aroma is honey, fruity, lemon, and some toast. Flavor is honey, vanilla, toast, earthy, spicy, lemon, and peppery finish.

Pours reddish orange with medium-light white head. Aroma is bitter with light fruits and flavor is a bit fruity and bitter with some hops in the finish. Quite ordinary bitter, but drinkable.

275ml bottle bought for me for Christmas 2009. Pasteurised bitter aroma. Boiled sweets on the malts. Very faint hop presence. Bit dusty. It’s a rather poor pasteurised bitter with as I say, some hop presence on the finish.

Probabilmente ossidata in bottiglia, vera la mela (Agostino), ci andrei piano col formaggio.

500 ml bottle. Finland.
Clear golden colour with small creamy off-white head. Strong delicious fruity bitter hoppy aroma. Earthy bitter hoppy flavour. Harsh bitterness in flavour and aftertaste.

From cask at Bishops Arms. Pours clear and golden orange with a small white head. Aroma is mild fruity hoppy. Fruity flavoured, slight metallic and bitter. Vague roasted malt base. Citric to citrusy finish.

A light bitter with a hint of rosiness to it. Horse blanket and a tease of toffee on the nose. Very round and earthy with a heavy caramel malt presence. A green and almost skunky bitterness builds deep in the throat. I found it a little watery.

hazy orange yellow with fizzy yellowish head. very cereal-y and malty aroma, a bit bready, plenty of toffee, and slightly cloying. flavor is more balanced -- though a bit watery -- a mix of sweet bread and slightly stale, mild grassy hops. very dry finish, nice carbonation, but it’s fairly thin and a bit metallic overall.
