Cask at Wellington, Stockport (not listed in RateBeer). Pours a golden yellow with a small foamy almost white head and good lacing. There’s malts and oranges in the aroma. In the mouth it is quite bitter with a creamy texture, but with some underlying sweetness. Traditional hops are quite prominent, alongside corn and grass plus a hint of citrus. Finish is dry and slightly sticky. It’s OK, but quite forgettable.

No head on a slowly carbonating golden coloured body. Fruity & malt aroma. Medium to thin bodied, low carbonation & dull on the back. Light malt, cereal & grain tastes with a citrussy finish. Lacklustre

Cask at Old Monkey, Manchester. Nil aroma. Golden brown, but without the satisfaction of heroin. Creamy but blotchy white head. Bitterness is struggling to come through like some shitty seance. Although has more in the finish when it gets a citrus edge. Light-medium bodied. Long low key finish. Old Trev gets this served to him as soon as he walks into his local. One of those bitters to down without worrying what it tastes like.

A proper pint of old school bitter. Clear amber with a frothy/creamy off-white head. Soft fruit and malt on the nose, smooth and semi-creamy with a fruity malty taste and a kick of bitterness
