Pours light brown with a thin head. Slighty bitter with a sweet hops aftertaste. Reminded me of Newcastle brown ale. Would probably be better if bottle wasn't clear.

Cloudy brown with medium beige head. Carmel malt nose. Carmel fore and mid with medium strength short hop finish. Just your run of the mill bitter

Sampled draught (nitro) at Stockholm Beer Festival.
Amber coloured with creamy head. No aroma. Unclean mellow body, very sweet and lacking in just about everything.
