On cask at Whistle Inn, Blaenavon - clear amber, great lacing white head. Standard malty cereal taste, some tasty fresh hops in there, gentle bitter finish. Very much a sessionable beer.

Taste comprises biscuit malts, earthy fruits, hint of pine, dates, grains. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close with a light bitter edge. Decent.

3rd Feb 2016: 500ml bottle from a local Lydl store. Poured into a UK pint sleeve at home. Looked good, deep off-white foaming head on a clear bright and light amber coloured body. Malts lead the way in both the aroma and semi-sweet taste, pleasant bitter finish and aftertaste. Nice, easy drinking Bitter, nothing spectacular flavour wise but a very good beer all round.

50cl bottle from Lidl. Pale chestnut with a billowing white head; malty aroma with a trace of red fruit; lively in the mouth, sweet and malty with a short grassy bitterness; and a biscuity finish. A basic bitter.

50cl bottle thanks to Lewis. Pours amber with some gentle bubbles and a very slim head. The nose has toffee, some slight biscuit notes. The taste has more toffee and the biscuit is more prevalent. The palate is almost medium bodied with a nice crunchy texture and a crisp finish. Overall, a well made bitter.
