[Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading.] A pale chestnut coloured pour with a loose cream head; malty aroma; creamy in the mouth with some fruity malts; then a nutty finish. Easy drinking but not very interesting. --- Beer aliased from original tick of Goodwill Bitter on 19 Jan 2007 at 10:58 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 7. Original review text: Bottle. Chestnut with a tan head; caramel aroma; roasted malt flavours with a hint of spice and a citric sharp bitter aftertaste. Pleasant enough, but doesn’t really grab my attention.
