Tetley's was established in 1822, by an ambitious young man called Joshua Tetley. With his experience in the family malting business and the belief in its motto ‘Quality Pays’, Joshua Tetley took advantage of the lack of successful breweries in the North of England, compared to those in London. After nearly two centuries of perfecting the brewing process, the name Tetley’s is synonymous with a smooth, tasty pint created from a perfect combination of traditional and modern brewing techniques. Tetley's range of quality ales is brewed using only the finest quality ingredients to the highest standards to ensure the perfect pint every time.
Tetley's Cask is an amber cask ale, which has roasted caramel bittersweetness balanced with distinctly aromatic smooth hoppy flavours and a lingering dry bitter finish.

440 ml can. Pours a clear amber with a large, creamy beige head that laces. Malty aroma with a hint of caramel and nuts. Creamy, sweet flavour of malt and caramel with a slightly dry, bitter finish. Light body with a watery texture and flat carbonation. Not bad, but not too exciting either.

Cask at the Roscoe Head, Liverpool. Golden with a thin white head. Just kind of sits there like a dead goldfish. A bit of caramel-toast-malt in the aroma but not much else. Bittersweet taste with the bitter asserting itself in the finish. Thin and lifeless palette. Short finish. Not actively bad but almost completely devoid of personality, like a zombie beer.

44 cl nitro-can from a market in Hong Kong, 150 HK$, 3.5%. Pours light copper color with an ultrasmooth creamy white head, typical of nitro. Nothing on the nose. Taste is slightly grainy with soft hops and mineral water, hints of caramel but very subtle. A bit tasteless and ultra soft, faint bitterness in the finish. I love still nitro bitters and this goes down easily, but nothing stands out.

On cask at Midland, Killamarsh - Expected the worst with this, amber coloured body, lasting creamy head. Hoppy grassy aroma. Sweetish, malty flavour with some butterscotch and still a fair deal of hops. Not as bad as I feared, but average.
