Fra cask på Charlies Bar, nov-12: Minner fra mitt år i London strømmer på - fargen, lukten, smaken og engelsk pubstemning. Perfekt temperert. Ruddles på flaske og fra håndpumpe gjorde store inngrep i min studentlommebok, og ikke uten grunn - dette er en meget god session beer. Bring it on!

50 cl bottle @ Pappila. Rated on 24.07.2010
Aroma has toffee, some caramel, English hops and hints of hay. Flavour is slightly sweet with lots of toffee typical to English ales. Also some caramel and hints of biscuits. Very English.

Clear dark golden ale with a soapy aroma and a sour crisp bitterness. Not the best taste.

This tastes a little flat to me. Almost has metallic tinge to it (and it’s from a bottle). Color is copper with small beige head. Aroma is faint, taste is of watery bitter. I tried this many years ago, and it was one of my favorites. Sad to see ti go down hill under Greene King...

500ml bottle - a pretty looking beer, copper body, white head. Heavy hop nose, with a bitter tang to taste. Not bad, but ordinary.

Clear amber beer. Well balanced and fairly strong nose. Softish palate, quite dry. Fairly strong malt and a good balance of bittering hop. Not terrible but as with so many English bitters - the hops are al bitterness and no fruit.

En klassiker fra studietiden! 0,5 flaske fra Meny. Nydelig mørk gylden farge. 4,7%. Deilig balanse og fruktig mersmak (er det litt nostalgi?). Boks fra supermercadoen i Elviria: et fantastisk cremeskum som varer helt til bunns, og en creamy, smooth munnfølelse med kompleks og subtil fruktig smak. Et mesterverk på bare 4,7 vitaminenheter. Opp fra 3.5 til 4.1!
