Bottle. Clear amber with a small white head. Aroma of toffee and chocolate. Taste of malts, chocolate, caramel and toffee. Low bitterness. Low to medium carbonation. Decent and enjoyable but does not feel like a Bitter at all. Maybe my bottle was off - but in a good way.

500ml bottle. Clear Amber, off white foam atop. Aroma of very faint, light malt. Taste presents a very light caramel sweetness, typical southern best bitter I suppose. Drinks well. No complaints.

500mL bottle, pours a crystal clear copper with a tiny white head. Aroma is cheap and buttery, with butterscotch, and some metallic notes. Flavour is no different, with lots of butterscotch, brutish bready malt, and light metallic character. Very low-quality, cheap brew, but not entirely offensive.

Bottle at home. A very watery beer with little in the way of hops, malt and any flavour for that matter. A very old school session bitter and not good.

Keg at a social club outside Farnham. 06/10/17. Basically the worst bitter I've ever had. Almost a soda stream version of bitter - ie watery and fizzy with some maltiness. Crap.

50cl bottle. Appearance - golden amber with a decent head. The head disappears quickly. Nose - toffee mostly. Taste - toffee, light biscuit. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a finish that could be fresher. Overall - not worth a revisit.
