Keg. Very smooth tasty and good looking standard bitter, certainly above average.

Can from Asian grocery store in Bratislava. Dark golden color with medium white cascade head. Bready yeasty aroma together with malt and some fruitiness. Taste is watery almost tasteless, with light bitterness in background. Bitter without enough bitterness.

Draught (nitro keg) @ Jury’s Inn hotel pub. Rated on 27.11.2012
Aroma has hay , grainy malt and hints of fruits. Flavour is odd with metal, gooseberry bush and some bun dough. Feels kind of harsh belgian witbier. Too harsh, gets better towards the end of the pint though.

On tap - a dull looking beer, a bit on the bland side in aroma, but with a metallic peppery bite in taste. A bit mixed, but not offensive.

Draft at the Hilton, Swindon. Pours medium amber, with a nice frothy head and some thick, but short-lived lacing. The aroma doesn't give much away and to be perfectly honest, neither does the taste! There is a hint of bitterness on the palate and a slightly malty bitter flavour. This beer was created to quench your thirst and not to impress.... but then so was water! I used to like this beer a few generations ago but these days all it does is to show how far we have come in the world of brewing and how much my own taste had developed. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Can at home in London. Pours clear, pale orange-gold with a weak, creamy head. Aroma gives off some light leaves, toast and honey. Light sweet flavor with some toasty bread, toasty sugar, faint stale leafy bitterness and hints of caramel. Light bodied and flat. Mild sweet finish with some dry and toasty malts, weak and dry caramel, faint wet leaves. Just an all around mediocre bitter. A bit disrespectful, really.

440ml can of 3.5% of blandness. Poured into a dimpled pint mug, it looked OK once the ‘widget’ had done its business, clear and golden with a creamy head on top. Not anything to report on the aroma front at all. To call this bland is unfair to bland stuff; this is just rubbish and although I’m sure the liquid in the can had been shown some hops and malts: they didn’t actually get to meet each other long enough before they were boiled to death and pasteurised. This is great pity because when this beer was formally brewed at the Strangways Brewery it was a lovely bitter, didn’t travel too well but in its heartland you couldn’t have asked for a better pint of cask bitter. It would appear JW Lees have contract brewed a really poor product (as I believe they now produce this liquid). Cost me a pound at a works beer call, managed to drink it all, but would have trouble spending that much on such a brew again.
