Cask at the Eden Arms, Doncaster. Copper with a thin white head. Laces well. Malt and not much else, damp bark nose. Mouth is light malty with plenty of brackish just-rained-autumn-leaves taste. Drinkable at £1.89 a pint, but not mine of choice.

Jun 8, 2008 My local grocery has an interesting new selection of bottled bitters and while I know I’m not in for the best at least it’s something better than Asahi, right? Light copper with a tall, rocky, white head. Malty, fruits, and light yeast make up the aroma. Where is the flavor? Very light malts, and a touch of bitter fruit. Refreshing mouth, though. Very light bitterness. Meh, not terrible, but far from tasty.

Dec 20, 2007 Back in the day when it was still brewed in Sheffield, when it was available as a Cask bitter, it was magnificent. Light and smooth but packing a punch it was worth making a trip for.
My rating is for this and this alone, do not go near it in cans, or Wetherspoons

Oct 9, 2007 Gawd! How things change....I used to love this beer, for me it was easy drinking, flavoursome stuff and quite easy to get hold of. I’d all but forgotten about it until I saw it in Asda in Carlisle, where a 4 pack was just over the £2 mark...that should’ve rung a few alarm bells, but nostalgia clouded my thinking and I rushed home and cracked open a can....Either its changed or my taste has, I suspect the latter!

Oct 1, 2007 A pint at the Wetherspoons in Wimbledon. Served very cold with little aroma and an ugly orange appearance. The flavour is hoppy but chemical and there is an unpleasant aftertaste. Overall, one for the drain!
