Generally only available filtered and pasteurised in 500ml bottles. Has appeared occasionally in cask.
A truly delicious mid-gravity ale brewed a high level of crystal malt, which delivers a full mellow flavour.
Maris Otter pale ale malt, Fuggles and East Kent hops, roasted and torrefied barley, crystal malt and fermentation sugar.

Golden-brown colour. Light caramelly taste. Fairy quick. Hint of cardboard. This type of by-the-numbers bland bottled ale is why so many Americans (and others) think English ales aren’t very interesting.

Dark red amber with a short lived frothy head. Honey, malt and smoked oak aroma. Distinct hoppy bitterness and a long aftertaste.

What a name. Sampled from a 16.9 oz brown bottle this beer pours a dark brown color with a medium sized light brown head. There is a mild malty aroma. It has a basic ale flavor and character with absolutely nothing noteworthy in any way. Pleasant but relatively unremarkable. The Yuengling Lager of English ales.

This is a good looking beer if not one with a stand alone taste. Rather thin, could use either more hops or malt or both in order to go in some direction. Young's makes to many overlapping session type beers. Not bad, but nothing exceptional.

Clean amber color. Very light bread aroma. Simple body, very light caramel. Boring.

Brown with a thin head. Taste is sweeter than I expect from a bitter. Gets sweeter as it warms. A little more bitter taste in the finish.

A chestnut brown beer with a fine head. It has a slight fruity and spicy aroma. The flavor is a little flat with no sweetness. It contains notes of a little smoke and chocolate. It doesn''t have the smoothness that bitters usually have. But it ends on a very nice bitterness that lingers. An OK beer, but I rather want my bitters more smooth than this.

I wouldn't call this an English Bitter like Greene King Abbot Ale or Boddington's. It really tasted more like an American Amber like Killian's. It really didn't live up to the wacky name for me, or the price. Nothing really stood out. If given the choice I would get their Double Chocolate Stout next time.

Dark nut brown. Dry. Neutral. Relatively bitter. A well balanced but rather one dimensional beer.
