500ml bottle [thanks to Grumbo for blueing another piece of the England map!]. Clear copper colour with small, creamy, off-white layer. Herbal-fruity hoppy and minimally bready-spicy malty aroma, hints of red berries, a touch of mistletoe or so. Taste is slightly dry, fruity hoppy, leafy, earthy, herbal, and bready-spicy malty, hints of red berries, red currant parings, tobacco; light, minimally watery. Underwhelming.

Bottle at home. I have no idea how many gallons of this I drank during my 3 years at Leicester University, but as a beer it didn't stick in my mind. Having a bottle on Saturday evening explains why, as it had very little flavour. There was some malt with bitter hops and that was about it. It was quite watery, but that is not a positive.

500ml bottle. Clear coppery orange amber colour, foam off-white head and aroma of malt, floral fruity. Taste is sweet rich malty, with caramel notes and earthy hop bitterness. Medium bodied, medium carbonation, dry finish, some residual sweetness. OK bitter.

Dark golden with no head. It’s not a million miles away from the Beacon brand, although this has less character to it. Relatively smooth with a sweet aroma and taste.

On September 21, 2012.Sold as "Everards English Ale" (Best Bitter), I didn’t see an ABV anywhere.Seen others rate that name of beer from the same pub as me under this ratebeer entry, so here goes.Clear copper to light brown color; nice, thick, dense, lasting, off-white head. Malty, sweet, some light caramel, hints of roasted malt taste. Medium mouthfeel, medium to medium high dry herbal bitterness. Malty, sweet, fruity scent.
