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.

14/4/2018. Bottle at the Station Tavern, Cambridge. Pours amber with a just off-white head. Aroma of malt, caramel, fruit, nut and hop. Moderate sweetness and bitterness. Light body, thin and slightly oily texture, above average carbonation. It's ok as a light Ale.

Bottle from the Alma Inn, Harwich. Poured a crystal clear light amber with a frothy white head. The aroma is malt, light woody hop. The flavour is moderate to light bitter with a watery light metallic hop bitter palate. Medium to light bodied with average carbonation. Way too light with little flavour.

Ogolnie piwo lekkie ale chmiel Golding wyraznie zaznacza sie w samej koncowce wlasciwie w kilka chwil po przelknieciu. Goryczka jest dosc dluga i trwala. To w zasadzie jedyny pozytywny efekt tego piwa jaki poozostawia. Pozatym jest lekkie latwe i przyjemne, mala butelka kolor jasno bursztynowy oraz mala piana.

Schöne Farbe, leider kein Schaum. Nase: kaum Aroma, leicht Malz. Im Trunk Wein, etwas sauer, wässrig. Britain’s favorite light ale - I doubt it.

275ml bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours clear amber-brown, big bubbly white head that head soon vanishes. Aromas of ccaramel and light nuttiness. Taste is toffee sweet. Very thin body, watery. More like a bitter shandy than anything. Not great.

Bottle@Pied Bull, Streatham (9/3/2014) - pours a pale amber/copper colour with thin white head. Light malty and nutty, slight caramel, toffee, very watery, low carb, overall pretty plain and forgettable.

Clear copper colour. Light malt aroma with some fruity sweetness. Initial watery feel but there’s a touch of hop in there and it actually becomes quite bitter in the finish.
