Pint at the Britannia, Upper Gornal. Light to mid-brown, translucent. Weak aroma of berry, malt, cola nut. Taste is lovely. Sugary sweet with a slight fruity bitter aftertaste... creamy mouthfeel. A very good traditional mild. Don’t expect fireworks but it’s good all the same.

500 ml bottle from my European Local Swap sender minutemat. Thanks Mat!
Clear, pale golden body, with a big, lacing, frothy, off-white head.
Aroma of hay, grass, grains, some flowers, slight citrus.
Taste is quite light, with about the same aromas and some more fruity, zesty hops and bitter herbs.
Light, slick mouthfeel, with a low carbonation.
Finishes bitter, quite dry, with grass, herbs, zesty hops.
Good. Clean, crisp and very easy, with a nice hay aroma. Overall not a beer I would often drink, but one of the better Bitters I’ve had.

Clear deep orange golden color with a fine off white head. Toffee, mild fruity and flowery. Medium body. Fine balance between sweetness and bitterness. Average carbonation. Bready, fruity, mild citric and a bit flowery flavor. Fresh and tasty English bitter.

Cask at the Red Lion, Jewellery Quarter, Birmingham. Orange-gold, clear as you like, with a white Northern head. Sulphur aroma enhanced to no end by orange peel, clove and yeast roll notes. Taste is standard bittersweet with an edge of sulphur. Simple but clean. When served spot on (as I’m having it now), it’s a real treat.

Bottle shared with Dutchdrebus. Clear orange golden color, medium sized white head. Smell and taste malts, straw, bitter. Tastes almost like a pilsener instead of a bitter. Decent enough beer, nothing wrong with it, just not very interesting.
