Keg & bottle: Pasteurised.
This is an ambient bitter, successfully merging the biscuity sweetness of English malt with the fruity, floral bitterness of locally grown East Kent Goldings and Target hops, to give a clean, satisfying and moreish drink.
Also sold as Premium House Ale in the Swedish Bishops Arms pub chain.

Clear light brown colour. Floral hop in the aroma. Flavour is rather bland and weak and slightly metallic but has some light fruity notes and a dry, bitter hop finish.

Clear 500ml bottle on 9th Aug 2013 at my parents: poured into a chalice (twice). Good amber coat to the brew, a small white head hung around on both pours’ but not for very long. Malt front to the nose and taste, caramel and toffee notes to be precise. Mild floral and fruit hints in the taste, but the aroma is all malts. A bit thin body wise, but OK for a cheap supermarket beer, which is what this beer really is.

Keg at the RHCC - 24/12/12. Dark amber with a thin off white head that clears to the edge. Nose is malt, toffee and biscuit. Taste follows, touch of summer fruit and light hops. Medium bodied with a little spritz in the carbonation. Pretty basic boring stuff.

(Draught at Bishop’s Arms, Vasagatan, Stockholm, 6 Feb 2008. Labeled as Bishop’s Arms House Ale) Amber colour with frothy off-white head. Fruity, malty nose with nuts and dark fruit. Malty taste with dark fruit and decent amounts of earthy hops in the finish. Light body, mainly dry. Nothing exceptional, but a decent, easy drinking bitter with a balanced hop character.

Amber color, small creamy off-white head. Nutty hoppy aroma. Nutty hoppy flavor, a bit buttery. Boring ale, but you can drink this, if you don’t have anything else. Not as good as eg. Bishops Finger.
