Dobry Bitter, z lekkim metnym osadem, wielka i trzymajaca sie sporo czasu piana, spore nagazowanie jak na brytyjskie piwo. Chmielowe nuty sa wyrazne w zapachu, w smaku dominuje takze zywiczny posmak chmieli. Najlepsze ekologiczne surowce. Real Ale from Camra. Polecam te angielska klasyke.

Cask at Charlies Bar, Copenhagen. A golden beer with a yellowish head. The aroma has notes of malt, butter and hops. The flavor is sweet with notes of butter, malt, and flowers, leading to a dry buttery finish.
