500ml bottle into pint glass. Smells of earth, peppery hops, a little malt. Cloudy orange beer with solid white head. Laces well. Some tiny bubbles rise. Full bodied and flat, immediate taste is sweet malt but soon followed by bitter fruity hops. The finish is long, dry, bitter with a slight balancing malt sweetness underneath. Flavours develop a little as it warms. Good, tasty bitter.

Clear nutty color with a fine off white head. Good lacing. Nutty, mild fruity and herbal aroma. Medium body. Moderate sweet and a fresh bitterness. Average carbonation. Fruity, herbal and caramel flavor. Decent nice bottled British bitter.

Bottle from Bernie’s Real Ale Off License, Solihull. Poured a clear medium amber with a thin white long-lasting head. The aroma is yeast, tropical fruit, hop. The flavour is medium to light bitter with a woody fruit hop palate and a short bitter finish. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.
