UPDATED: OCT 12, 2022 Varied locations while visiting London this week. I consider this a text book example of a British beer. It’s nothing spectacular but it’s pretty good. Nice amber color with a creamy head that sticks around throughout.

UPDATED: SEP 10, 2022 Van tap bij Foresters' Arms in Saint Peter Port. Bitters, wat roasted malts, caramel, nutty, vrij droog. (10-9-2022).

UPDATED: DEC 30, 2021 Very nice looking beer, deep amber brown with a lovely, creamy off-white head and a nutty, malty aroma. Smooth and creamy with that same nutty, malty flavour, and an old-school bitterness

UPDATED: OCT 10, 2021 Cask at the Cricketers. Aroma of roasted malts and hints of toffee. Taste is malty but quite weak. Decent enough taste and it is what it is.

UPDATED: MAY 31, 2021 Pint on cask at the Yorkshire Grey on a sunny bank holiday Monday medium creamy white head. Clear light amber pour. Light bitterness.

UPDATED: MAY 26, 2019 Typical mass produced low alcohol pub bitter, it's ok if the pub you happen to find yourself in have nothing else

UPDATED: APR 11, 2019 Cask at Hare and Hounds, Appleby. Clear amber appearance with medium sized lasting white head. Aroma is malty and roasted. Flavour is nutty, roasted and smooth.

Cask at the Fox & Hounds, West Burton. I've always detested this in keg and can so was interested to see what it was like in cask. Lookswise, it's much the same -amber-brown with a white head and a light sparkle (it was served in very good condition). The taste though is massively better - a decent malty flavour with sweet toffee, nuts and a dry woodiness, followed by a pleasant balancing bitterness. It is, admittedly, rather thin and watery, but that almost makes it more drinkable, and thus more suited to it's role as a session bitter. I was pleasantly surprised by this (especially the woodiness); it's such a shame that its reputation has been so badly tarnished by the godawful keg version.

Dark amber to chestnut colour, moderate sized slightly amberish white head; aroma of toasted rye bread, some floral, toasted nutty and butterscotch notes; taste of dried fruity, roasted nutty, butterscotch and floral notes; surprisingly good ale...or maybe it is just because of the atmosphere ( tasted in a pub in England during the semi-final of Englad vs. Croatia at 1:0) :)

Liverpool 2018, light brown, white head. aroma of caramel, toffee, creamy head, thin, dry, malts, ok-ish
