banks's bitter Bottle, 0.5l. Clear amber pour, one finger frothy off-white head. Low to medium retention, good lacing. Slightly sweet on the nose, herbal and caramel notes. Slight honey. Thin to medium body, soft carbonation. Light texture, a bit watery overall. Mild taste and aroma. Weak bitterness combined with slight fruity tartness. Aroma is malty with caramel and toffee notes. Slight breadiness. Some wood notes. Honey. Herbs. Not bad, but a bit too watery. Mild bitter finish. Overall, unspectacular. Drinkable but quite mild and watery. Average effort.

Bottle from Asda as Amber Bitter. Pale amber in colour, with a thin, off-white, head. Easy drinking bitter, with some caramel, cereal malts, a touch of hedgerow hop and moderately bitter finish. A solid product and good value.
