Can be fantastic, rarely is. A very difficult pint for a pub to pull off, very few people know how to serve it. A sulphrous brown Burton bitter, yeasty/eggy nose, astringent malty taste and finish.

First impression is that this is bland. Aroma is faint, but appearance is pretty good, amber color with decent foamy head. Taste is hops and light malt. Finish is dry and abrupt.

500ml Bottle, just out of date when poured into a UK pint sleeve on 5 Apr 2013. Looked OK, amber body with a fast disappearing head. The nose was malty with off/sour-fruit notes. The taste is semi-sweet, malty with fruits, not so sour as the aroma suggested. Caramel flavours give the beer its base taste, they overshaddow any other characters and the beer becomes just a caramel, malty brew. The beer is too one dimensional in my opinion. OK but not as good as the old rich, creamy Pedigree I remember from my youth.

Poured a clear copper colour with a thin white head. The aroma is pure malt, leading to a medium bitter, malty flavour with a slightly metallic palate. A tasty English bitter that's sadly falling a little behind the times.
