Hand-pulled cask pint in the White Hart, Ironbridge Shropshire on 17th June 2018. Red hue to the amber body, decent and lasting white head. Malty nose and initial taste, dry hoppy overall flavour with a light fruity undertone, semi-bitter finish. my pint wasn't in great condition, but I still managed to sink it all.

Kicsi, nem túl tartós hab, vörös szín. Karamelles, égetett cukros illat, némi fűszeres beütéssel. Fűszeres, kissé fanyar, enyhén karamelles ízek. Könnyű, közepesen szénsavas, közepesen keserű. Sajna minden komponens a külön világát éli, nincs összhang.

0.5l bottle. Dark orange body with a thin white head. Grainy aroma with a bit of toast and some spicy hops. Taste is quite similar to the aroma, mostly grainy that is quite unusual for a bitter and toast plus a bit of caramel and spicy hops. As it's rather watery the bitterness seems to ve a bit harsh. Drinkable, but had better bitter before.

0.55 bottle from Lidl. 1,65 euro. Nice, clear amber color. The essence of this beer is that it can be made delicious from a quality raw material with a low alcohol content. Quality malt, full hops. Perfect for drinking bitter. The smell is also delicious.

Szép, tiszta borostyán szín. Ennek a sörnek a lényege, hogy alacsony alkohol fokkal minőségi alapanyagbol is lehet finomat csinálni. Minőségi maláta, fullos komlózás. Tökéletes ivós bitter. Az illata is finom.

Pint on tap at The Duke & Rye, Chichester. Ruby red beer with thin white head. Laces well. Zero carbonation. Slight nose of malt and hops. A little zingy, smooth texture otherwise. Malt finish with some late sour bitterness. Easy to drink, good quaffer.
