Pint served in an original tall Adnams glass. Nice dense head over a rusty brown body. Slightly malty to the nose. Smooth with light bitterness and some caramel in a rather weak taste. Very standard beer (in perfect temperature at Pakenham Arms, London 14.09.2006).

On can 0,5l. Red-brown colour. A delicate creamy head. Hoppy and fruity aroma. Malty flavour with some fruity hints - but soon turns into a very bitter aftertaste. Well done on can!
