2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Cask at a big chain pub. It looks good, actually. Magnificent creamy head on top of an amber ale. Quite a lot of bubbles. The nose has burnt toast and honey. The taste is of more burnt sweetness but this is disguised (well, poorly) behind the creaminess which actually renders a very average beer very drinkable - clever! The palate and overall appreciation re-echoes this disguised sweet burntness.

Draught @ Olutravintola Kukko, Kemi.
Tetleys is a very basic British bitter without any particular flaws. Quite refreshing but could be more tasty and malty. Nowhere near Sheperd Neame’s Spitfire.
