500ml bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours clear copper with a small white head. Aroma is malt, nuts, biscuity hops. Taste is the same. Light bitter finish. Light bodied. Ordinary British pub beer.

Pours an almost clear copper colour with a medium sized creamy off-white head. Aroma is fairly sweet with notes of toffee, fudge, caramel, red fruit and bread. Taste has dry dark fruits, caramel, liquorice and toasty bread. Full bodied, low carbonation with a very smooth mouthfeel. Malty beer but with an earthy hip bitterness on the finish. Very good.

Bottle from local Aldi. Has a faintly malty aroma and pours the classic ”bitter brown” with a small white head. Dried fruit (dates, raisins) are what hits the mouth first, with sweet malts underneath. A hint of bitterness around the edges too. Finish is more malty. A good solid traditional bitter – I’m giving it extra points for the absence of citrus !

Cask at a pub in Brecon Beacons. It pours clear brown with a thick, creamy white head. The aroma is earthy, brown bread, wood, wet cardboard, leather and toasted nut. The taste is dry, touch of bitterness, earthy, wood, leather, brown bread, grainy and cereal with a drying finish. Lighter end of medium body and fine carbonation. A pretty okish bitter. Good condition helps it along.

Bottle at home. Wow, that is a sweet beer! I would classify this as a very old school mild and it really wasn't my thing. Good mouthfeel, but the sweetness was too much,

500ml bottle from Aldi. Poured a murky medium amber with a thin broken white head. The aroma is light caramel grainy malt, weedy hop. The flavour is moderate to light bitter with a skunky watery malt, metallic, light floral hop bitter palate. Medium to light bodied with average carbonation. Pretty awful. Poured most of the bottle. Might try again one day to check if this is really what the brewer intended or if this was just a bad bottle.

Quickly getting through thirds of beers I’ve been gifted and are taking up room. Whilst pret t weak, there’s a pleasant sweetness to the aroma, makes me think of marzipan or a glue stick. Medium chestnut. Thin bright white head. Sweet and sour. Some bitterness into the finish. Fruit. Acidic berries. Quite light. Watery. Lively carbonation, gives the acidity some edge. Dry low key finish. Much better than I was expecting. Perhaps subdued but an easy drinker.
