Keg draught at the Old Crown, Digbeth. Lightvyellow and clear with a small uneven fuzz of white head. Light aroma, some citrus, a little bit of spiciness. Smooth taste, sweet at first but with a bitterness on the second half of the sip, bitter finish with some dryness. Almost astringent citrus peel in the aftertaste. A pretty basic Helles.

Bottle from Sainsburys. Pours clear amber with a medium throthy white head. Aromas of citrus, gooseberries, fruit salad sweets and a touch of caramel. Taste has more citrus, fruit salad sweets, caramel, biscuits and earthy hops on the dry bitter finish. Medium body with average carbonation. Pretty good.

Bottle from Waitrose. Pours a slightly hazy chestnut brown colour with a medium sized creamy off white head. Aroma is very malty and sweet with toffee, caramel and doughy white bread. Taste is again very similar to the aroma with more toffee and caramel, more doughy bread, some added fudge and biscuits and a slight earthy hop bitterness that lingers on the finish. Well balanced. Medium to full body, low carbonation and smooth slightly oily mouthfeel. A good example of a traditional English Bitter. Very decent beer.

Bottle from Sainsburys. Pours a clear golden/amber colour with a medium sized throthy white head. Citrus and tropical fruit aromas and a hint of caramel. Taste has the same notes as the aroma, more citrus and tropical fruits, a bit more caramel and a fair amount of peppery spice. A touch of sweetness but nicely balanced with the hops. Medium body, fairly low carbonation and smooth oily mouthfeel. Decent beer.
