Green, grassy hops, goldings, pungent fuggles. Bready malts, some crackers, minerals, light wet paper. Solid mouth feel, medium carb. Low to maybe medium bitterness. Solid cereal finish, grassy hops follow. Quite sessionable, nice bitter.

Cask at Brasshouse, Birmingham. Clear amber with small consistent white head. Smooth, fruity with a modest bitterness although lacking in much depth. No off-notes. Not bad for a macro-bitter.

0.5 l bottle from 'REWE' (Wyk auf Föhr), best before April 2024. Clear, amber with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, off-white head. Sweetish, gently fruity-floral aroma of marmalade, tea leaves, orange peel and light peach. Gently sweet, malty, moderately bitter, slightly fruity-floral taste of marmalade, orange peel, nettles, grains and some tea, followed by a short, gently bitter, quite dry, almost watery finish. Thin to medium body, gently effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Solid Bitter, not too aromatic, a little thin but quite drinkable.

0,5 bottle.Very nice, real English beer-like bottle and label. The current one is cleaner, nicer than the one in the picture (2023 06 27) True to its name, it is more of a light amber color, with a thick white head, which is thin, but lasts. Although it is bitter, its aroma only has a slight sweet caramel maltiness, no hops. (well, a little yes). It really has a bitter taste, i.e. resinous, herbally bitter, but also quite watery and bodyless. A classic thirst-quenching drink in the heat, but nothing more. However, at least you can enjoy a good medicinal drink from it :) Anyway, it was not a bad, classic bitter English ale.
* Nagyon szép, igazi angol sör megjelnesű üveg és címke. A mostani letisztultabb, szebb, mint itt a képen (2023 06 27) Nevéhez mérten inkább csak világos-borostyán szín, sűrű fehér habbal, ami vékony, de azért tart. Bár bitter, de illatán csak némi édeskés karamelles malátásság érződik, komlózás nem. (na jó, egy kevés igen). Valóban bitter-ízű, azaz gyantás, gyógynövényesen keserű, de emellett eléggé vizes és testetlen. Klasszikus melegben szomjoltó ital, de ennél nem több. Viszont legalább jó gyógyszereset lehet tőle büfizni :) Amúgy nem volt rossz, klasszikus keserű angol ale.

Bottle, 3.8%. Caramelly aroma, hazelnut. Clear amber colour. Big stable white head. The flavour is fairly caramelly, hint of spicy hop. Assertive bitterness.
