Sample at the Red Lion JDW. Medium beige head. Clear light Amber pour. Light bitterness.

On draft at The George London. Pours a burnished copper, almost mahogany with an off white head. Nose is herbal and grassy hops and some bready sweet malt. Flavour is mild hops and nice stable malt.

Amber brown colour with medium white head that soon diminishes. Aroma slightly drain-like stinky with slight creamy malt. Slight toffee/caramel elements, but overall not much taste. Pleasant in the mouth and with soft carbonation, but really not very interesting.

Cask at Kaisla, Helsinki, Finland. Pours fairly transparent amber with limited foam. Aroma is classic bitter with caramel, malty, plus peanuts. Body is average with moderate carbonation. Taste is well balanced, everything moderate. Finish is average.

Tap at Bisschops Arms in Stockholm ( near the central station ) . The only info I could get was 'spitfire ' as an English Bitter, and that it's 4.5 % . This felt like the most right entry, given that info. if not, admins, please move ? Pours clear rich amber, medium small, very creamy white head with loads of lacing. looks nice! Taste is full, caramelly, oxidation though, quite a lot of it, in comparancy to what you can expect on tap. Have these kegs been sotred warm ? this already shows actual papery notes. Well received caramelly backbone, slight bitterness, rather malty ( toasted bread-notes) background. Hoparioma is very little, English in character. Not bad, but probably not prime condition. Edit toards the glass' ending. As the beer warms up, it opens up to quite a lot of diacetyl. The last sips were surely unpleasantly strong diacetyl. Some is allowed in style, but this was to much. not sure if a line-oriented issue, or beer, or both.

Cask at Elephant & Castle, Farnborough. Malty aroma with a floral edge. Dark chestnut. Foamy off-white head. A good looking pint. Light-medium bitter. Dark berries. Biscuits. Light-medium bodied. A sticky, almost chemical, mouthfeel to it. Average carbonation. Relatively abrupt finish. Not too bad. Had blander.

Cask at the Hoop & Grapes. Pours deep amber with a small off-white head. Aroma is floral, malty, fruit, hop and caramel. Moderate sweetness, medium bitterness. Moderate body, slightly oily and watery texture, soft carbonation. It's not bad but sure it used to be better?

Cask at Wetherspoon, Birmingham Airport. Poured a clear amber colour with a frothy white head. The aroma is nutty malt, woody hop. The flavour is moderate bitter with a smooth dry, light, woody hop bitter palate and a lingering dry bitter finish. A decent session ale.

Cask at Angleterre. Hazy golden amber color. Baking biscuit aroma. Tasteis bready straw.

Cask at Tom Cribb, London. A classic ale that is a good comfort choice. Very gluggable.
