2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Retro review from Spring 2012 Wetherspoons Beer festival; this beer should be reported to trade descriptions the pump clip suggests hops, but I can’t find them smell them taste them. Other than that a decent English bitter.

Bottle at home. Clear amber pour, thin white head. Aroma of black tea, grains and floral hops. Flavor has a bit of diacetyl, black tea and is very bitter. A bit one-dimensional.
