Britain’s most favoured light ale, often mixed with Young’s Bitter. Pale amber in colour with a complex but clean and nutty nose. A clean, satisfying blend of malt and hops, more bitter than the average light ale.

Maris Otter pale ale, torrefied barley, crystal malt, fermentation sugar and Fuggles and Goldings hops.

Bottle@Wenlock Arms. Copper colour, mediumsized creamy white head. Aroma is hops, slight metallic notes as well as some malts. Flavour is pretty much the same and leaves a dry palate.

Can. Amber beer with a strong head. The aroma is caramel based and the flavour is very dry and well hopped. Overall a nice dry beer.

Thin offwhite creamy shiny head. Orange body with carbonation. Sweetish burnt almond aroma. Taste is light burnt almonds and water. Dryish faintly hoppy aftertaste. Decent. (0.275l bottle. This is not a mild, though, but a low alcohol, and a quite good one.)

Bottle, Light brown in colour, bit bitter and malty, dry on the finish, bit thin but thats what you’d expect at such a low ABV. Fine enough.

Bottle 0,275l. Golden coloured. A soapy white lasting head. Hardly any aroma. Some bitterness in the flavour and an abrubt ending.

An amber beer with a beige head. The aroma is sour malty - just like most low-alcohol beers, and so is the flavor. The end is dry hoppy. Just a light ale.
