Golden ale, no head. It’s a typical premium bitter with a slight sweetness for its aroma and taste. Easily a session beer.

500ml bottle. Pours a clear yellow gold colour, foam white head and aroma is sweet fruity with some spice. Taste is sweet malt & grain, grassy and a light bitterness. Creamy mouth feel, light bodied, medium carbonation, finish is dry with some residual sweetness. OK.

Clear, but dark brown in colour so hard to see this. Has a small head and a slightly sweet aroma alongside some mild toffee and caramel notes.

A strong ale, but by no means overbearing and there’s a pleasant harsh sweetness running through its taste. Deep copper-orange in colour, no head.

Black Color, Creamy Head with Long Retention, Good Lacing. Light Chocolate, toasted, light bitter, creamy malt finish. My guess that 3.2% ABV means Mild Ale classification, otherwise I’d put it in Stout style since it resembles Guinness or Murphy’s. Good.

Draft. Light toffee malt aroma. Dark amber with small head. Lightly sweet toffee malt and mildly grass/hay flavor. Nice (especially since I was able to get it fresh).
