[25/4/2008, on tap at the King Alfred, Chippenham] Large and lasting head; smooth but bland, dull and watery; a bit of malt but little else. [Re-rate 16/12/2009, cask at Great Expectations, Reading], Good deep rich malt aroma. Sweet and buttery, sour oak wood comes through then something unpleasant and rotting in the finish. Not a pleasant experience.

Cask at Breadsall Priory, Derby. Amber with a dense white head; malt and hops aroma; predominantly malty flavour with a good bitter finish. Not exciting, but just what an ordinary bitter should be.

275ml bottle from the Swan Hotel, Hythe, Kent. "Brewed in the UK and distributed by InBev UK Ltd" I’ve not seen this elsewhere, but it’s available at a number of pubs and bars in Hythe.
Gold in colour with a thin white head; slightly herbal aroma; sweet malt body with a strong hop content; dry and bitter hop finish with a quinine bite. Overall quite impressive.

Slightly hazy copper-amber colour. Very caramelly and a little bit oxidized nose. This never went across the pond, so what gives? Caramelly taste with some pear/plum/apricot vague fruitiness from the yeast. The usual boring two-step of pasteurized English ale.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a caramel-amber color with a medium sized yellow-white head. The aroma had moderate fruity hops and a light sour nutty malt base. The flavor was lightly bitter with a noted fruity hop presence and notes of caramel and nut underneath. Caramel and fruity hops linger on the finish. Nicely balanced. Very drinkable.
