Bottle from the supermarket. Slightly fizzy at first with a frothy head. A balance flavour though it’s lighter than you might expect. A nice, drinkable beer.

True story: An ex girlfriend once slapped my best mate, very hard, for asking her if she had ever enjoyed Bishop’s Finger. Hoho... fun times.

För att vara så alkoholspinkig är det bra tryck i den här. Fast ställd bredvid den fullblodiga ölen framstår 3,5:an ändå som en halvfigur. Man kan suga på den här för att finslipa sin paradroll som martyr, men var beredd på att stämningen blir mer olustig än vällustig i så fall.

Bottle from super market. Dark amber color, white head. Bitter taste with caramel, herbs and malts. Body lacks some depth. Dry bitter finish. Classic, enjoyable bitter.

Bottle from ICA, Ystad. Clear amber colour with an off-white head. Aroma and flavour of malt, cereals, caramel and hops.

(bottle from Tesco) amber with nice head. Biscuit malt aroma. Flavor is biscuit malt, not much hops in the finish.

Very tasty ale. One for after hard day at work. Strong flavours with a nice kick. Yummy

Bottle 0,5l. Appearance: Clear dark amber color with a average, frothy, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, off-white head. Aroma: -light to moderate- malt, caramel, wood, fruits . Taste: light to moderate sweet and light bitter w Palate: Body is thin, texture is thin, carbonation is soft.

Bottle. Pours - as visible from the clear bottle - clear golden with a nice small head. Aroma butter, british hops. Butter, caramel. Surprisingly close to the not watered down version. Not Bad.

Colour of copper. Some white head. Aroma is biscuit, toffee and fruits. Flavour is biscuit and a bit of citrus. Nice aroma but the flavour is a little watery. Not bad texture for a 3,5%.
