Cask handpump at the Royal, Bingley, West Yorks, 20-05-06 served to cold which seemed to remove what little taste that there probably was to start with, amber, dull and unexciting.

The aroma is malty sweet. The color is nutbrown and it has a fine bubbly head though very fast disappearing. The flavor is sweet, malty, and very light. It has no character and is therefore a very average beer.

Looks similar to John Smiths Extra Smooth. The beer has little aroma with a slighly creamy head and hoppy flavour. Probably just better than the extra smooth.
