Exactly what you expect from an English Bitter. Dark copper colour with a decent off-white head. Nice balance of Hops, with a slightly fruity taste and creamy mouth feel. Carbonation helps give it a nice dry, clean finish.
Nothing amazing, but a solid beer that I will definitely drink again.

Jul 26, 2008 Pours a dark reddish brown color with a small off-white frothy head. Aroma is very malty and fruity, mostly dark fruits like plum and raisin. Flavor starts out very malty and sweet. The hop presence never really appears and it seems only to get sweeter through the finish, to an almost candy-like taste. Maybe a tiny bit of bitterness lingered but it seems a little too sweet. Medium body. Not too bad, just a bit too sweet and not bitter enoguh to rank higher.

Jul 26, 2008 Fine bitter. Copper colored body and a delicious beige head. Nice fruity aroma of caramel, hops, some roasted malt, a hint of citruses. Smooth mouthfeel with a nice flavor of roasted malt, nice bitter hop taste, moderated carbonation. Fine bittery aftertaste.

Jul 22, 2008 (England) Pours a dark amber / brown color with zero head. The aroma is of malts, caramel, and hops !! The mouthfeel has a sharp zesty bitterness with a malty taste. This bitter is pretty good, But not the best that i’ve had.

Jul 18, 2008 can !!!!!4.3%!!!!! this might come in two different versions, but i wouldn’t put this rating down as a cask. I have verified the 4.3% with another can, bought in IRMA, Copenhagen, Denmark.
Aroma sour, citrus, fruit, nice flavor but nothing special, nice session beer but not elite.
