Had these in my pre-ratebeer days, and had forgotten all about them until I read an article on the zythophile blog today about marketing beer to women. I didn’t even know that was the point of these beers. They were all sweet, and the clear one was the best of a pretty poor bunch.

Not much to say about this bland tasteless beer. I wouldn’t spend any money to buy it. And should have turned it down a a gift.

Bottle from Tesco. It pours deep amber with a thick white head. The nose fresh bready maltage, toasted cereal, light spice and earth. The taste is bitter, earthy, spice, mild caramel, floral and toast with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Well rounded. Not bad for what it is, but I had hoped for more depth.

Bitter from the Coors-owned Worthington brand, once a classic among English ales. Industrial example of the style, pasteurized and tapped with a nitro tap to artificially generate the creamy character and milky head of a real cask conditioned ale. Very stable and dense, white head, brownish bronze colour. Bitterish and metallic character, caramelly and nutty malts, some honey but not sweet, thick and indeed very creamy and milky mouthfeel, soft herbal hop bitterishness in the finish. Too artificial, obviously.

500ml Can: out of date 9 days after opening. Poured into an old Schlossbrau stemmed tulip three times at home on 22nd Aug 2014. Golden, clear and bright, on top a full and deep white crown. Odourless and almost tasteless. Crisp and sharp in the mouth but lacks actual flavour. Refreshing and clean, a slight maltiness maybe, with a mild bitter finish. I had a can of this after working in the garden the other week and it quenched my thirst and satisfied my needs that day: on it’s ’review day’ however it was nowhere near as good or impressive.

Keg at the Woodmans Rest, Solihull. Poured a clear medium amber with a smooth frothy white head. The aroma is light malt. The flavour is light to medium bitter with a light malt light hop palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Plenty of body but lacks bitterness or any kind of defining flavours. Not a patch on the M&B beer of the 80’s and 90’s. Rather sad really.
