Sweet malt character comes from the pale malt and some toffee character comes from the crystal malt. A little roasted barley adds a touch of astringency. Special yeast adds fruity esters. The hops give classic clean herbal and resin hop flavour with a moderate easy drinking bitterness.

Cask pint draft at Bag O' Nails pub in London, England. It pours a crystal clear amber color with a thick khaki head and excellent retention. Excellent lacing too. This style just isn't that exciting. It's kind of boring. Tastes like a lager with a little bit of bitters added into it. No caramel notes like the a US version. At least this one is colder than the first one I had today. Medium body. Low carbonation. Light bitterness. Overall slightly better than the first bitter, but still nothing very exciting.

From cask at Shakespear next to Piccadilly station with Terje 16.04.25. Mahogany amber. Foamy and persistent beige head and lacing. Decent aroma and taste of sweetly roasted malt, dried red berries and caramel.

Cask at ITFC Fanzone before yet another, but expected devastating defeat, with plenty more to come. At least I get to sample some of the guest ales beforehand. Every cloud and all that. Anyway, aroma of caramel, malts, toffee and a bit of biscuit. Smooth but not blown away by the taste. A decent bitter.

Grainy mild, malty. Fruity with a nice mild fruity grainy finish. Nice.

Cask: Poured a clear light brown color ale with a small foamy head. Aroma of caramel and nutty flavors. Taste is a mix of caramel malt flavors with some dry floral hops notes. Body is about average for style with good carbonation. Well made bitter that drinks quite well.
