Bottle for £1 from Tesco. Sweet weetabix malts, boiled sweet fruitiness and a moderately bitter finish. This showed most of the characteristics of a badly bottled English bitter. Sink pour, looks like I got a bad one.

Cask at the Sussex Arms, Twickenham Green - 21/04/12. Dark cola brown with medium off-white head. Sweet malt nose backed by hops and a little whiff of smoke. Malts, wood and a little dark fruit in the taste. Lightish bodied - a little on the watery side even for a mild, but drinkable.

Still being sold off at a pound a bottle at Tesco’s, Andover. Amber with a billowing cream head; grassy hop aroma with a touch of lemon; soft, malty body; with some clean hops to finish. According to the label these are fresh aromatic hops from around the Commonwealth - but they seem to be maily Fuggles and Goldings to me.

Terribly weak looking, but its hopped aroma and slightly hopped flavours make up for this.

50cl bottle from Tesco, ABV 3.8%. Deep magohany with a cherry red glow and a fading beige head; nutty, caramel, malty aroma; dry, with a earthy malt taste; and a very light touch of hops to lift and freshened the finish. A good mild.

Cask at Wellington, Birmingham, 3.8% ABV
The color is very dark, almost black, with creamy head. It has a mild and fresh aroma, light roasted malt and light apple juice, with traces of peach. The mouthfeel is light and smooth; the dark caramel and chocolate flavor is mild, subdued; it has a light fruity and lemony trace too. Balance and elegance. Some roasted malt appears in the final.
Excellent modern take for a Mild.

Bottle at Leighton’s Euro Semi-Final tasting. It pours golden yellow, with a medium white head. The nose is sulphur, egg, dough and grass. The taste is corn, dough, hay, straw, plastic, grass and lemon pith, with a dry finish. Light-medium body and soft carbonation. Not for me....
