It is a light ale, nice copper color when you pour it into the glass, creamy foam, watery, small side of bitterness, refreshing. 21.07.2016, drinking it in Geneva with Alex, at the lake, Pâquis, area on the grass, not great but it was refreshing.

What to say. Creamy smooth pint of bitter. Beautiful beer anytime. Nothing exciting or particularly interesting but what it does it does well.

Can. Pours hazy brown with thin but long lasting head. It has the usual biscuity bitter notes in aroma and taste but is painfully, terribly watery and thin. Meh.

Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso è indirizzato verso l'orzo tostato. La finezza olfattiva è normale e la maniera in cui permane. Il manto birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma color avorio che resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana fine. Il liquido appare velato e anche qui la grandezza delle bollicine è fine. Il colore è ambrato carico tendente marrone. Il corpo è medio.L'amaro è discreto. La forza gustativa è normale e la persistenza è sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di facile beva. Il finale è semplice e dissetante. Il retrogusto è di media intensità. Sulla lingua si attestano indizi di caramello e di miele.

Aroma of malts, some caramel, light nuts. Flavour is the same, rather malty. A bit watery on the palate. Refreshing, highly quaffable, but nothing to get excited about.

Pint at The Plough - Rotherham. Clear amber pour with a creamy off-white head. Faint malty aroma, barely there. Taste is malty, nutty, sweet. Seems a bit then with an abrupt finish.
