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 Original Bitter is an amber bitter ale, which has sweet toffee apple flavours balanced with distinctly bitter dry flavours and a lingering dry bitter finish.
The ABV has slightly reduced over time.

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.

Non Widget Can. Creamy Buttery Yellow Color, Small Lasting Creamy Foam Head, Decent Lacing. Lightly Toasted Aroma. Toasted Malt, Light Hop Bitter. Mellow. Low ABV partly Explains how British Are able to drink so much. Easy and Decent To Drink Although It is Not Sophisticated Nor Memorable. OK.

Can. Pours a nice cascading copper hue with a large nitro head. A sweet dusty aroma. A nice ESB with floral hops, sweet marmalade, some earthy caramel malts. Easygoing.

Not the worst out of a can. Golden with a semi-smooth texture. It is a texture ale, no big flavours but easy to drink. No head and a low bitterness.

44cl can (Smoothflow) from HiperDino, Puerto De La Cruz. Copper coloured with a creamy, off-white nitro head. Malty aroma with caramel and hints of fruits and hops. Quite sweet, but with a pleasant bitterness in the finish. Lightly watery, but easy to drink and quite nice. (2012-12-31)
