2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
0.5l bottle. This is a clear caramel-golden colored one with a medium sized fading and bubbly off-white top. Nice English aromas, caramel, grass, toffee and traces of bitter nuts. Not bad at all. It has a decent average carbonation level and a soft oily to watery mouthfeel. Again grassy hoppy tones in the flavor, the caramel is present as is the bitterness. Straight forward a classic I do not stick myself out to much-English bitter. 23.02.2013

3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
500 ml bottle. Clear, deep golden body with a moderate sized off-white head. Quite mild aroma of bread, caramel malt, fruit and a hint of toast and butterscotch. Flavor is mild, sweet, smooth malt, caramel, some fruit and mild bitterness with a hint of butterscotch, but not unpleasant. It’s quite nice actually without having anything special to offer really. A traditionally British bitter in other words.
