2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20 hman43 (29) - Pinehurst, North Carolina, USA - MAY 17, 2013
This brew doesn’t have a very strong aroma. It has a ruby color, the head isn’t strong, but does cling to the glass. It has a slight bitterness to it and a decent taste, but not overly favorable.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 KnutAlbert (5186) - Oslo, NORWAY - APR 18, 2013
Bottle from Meny CC Vest, Oslo.
Very true to type English bitter. Lovely amber, full malty body.
Pleasant, but in no way challenging or innovative. But all beers should not aspire to that.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 OleR (4247) - Oslo, NORWAY - APR 6, 2013
0.5L bottle picked up @Ølhandleriet, Mathallen, Oslo. A finger of foamy ashy blond head, atop a deep amber colored body with good clarity. Modest aroma of nutty, light caramelly and biscuity malts. Fine fruity hop tones. Light to medium body. Lively in the mouth. Semi-dry, peppery caramel malty flavor. Firm fruity and earthy bitterness. Moreish, and one of the better bottled bitters I’ve had.

Non una delle migliori produzioni di casa Theakston. Molto meglio la best bitter o la versione di questa Xb ma in pompa.
