0.5l bottle. Clear amber body with a white head. Aroma of biscuit, caramel and spicy hops with a hint of roasted malts. Taste is pretty much like the aroma only with a more pronounced hop character. The texture is a bit watery, but I don't mind that much. OK beer.

0,5 bottle. We are talking about a 3.4% classic bitter. It’s unbelievable what scents there are after all. Hops and malt feel round. Its head is not large, its color is also interesting, it is ginger-brown, maybe a little confused. It is incomprehensible, because according to them it also contains an extract, which is very difficult to combine with 3.4 "vol. And the taste" cuts "a lot of beers. Interesting, complex hops, several types of hops, citrus and bitter .If we don't want to feel the alcohol and we have enough money for it and we want a really good beer in addition - drink it! :) Even its foam stuck to the glass! Awesome! Almost the perfect drinking-beer category !!! Re-rate : the perfect drinking beer category.

Egy 3,4 %-os klasszikus bitterről beszélünk. Hihetetlen, hogy mégis milyen illatok vannak. Komló, maláta kereken érződik. Habja nem nagy, színe is érdekes, gyömbéres félbarnás, talán picit zavaros is. Érthetetlen, mert ezek szerint extrakt is van benne, amit nagyon nehéz összehozni 3,4"vol - al. Az íze pedig "kenterbe vág" nagyon-nagyon sok sört. Érdekes, összetett komlózás, több féle komló érződik, citrusos is, keserű is. Ha nem akarjuk érezni az alkoholt, és van rá elég pénzünk, és igazán jó sört akarunk emellett - ezt igyuk! :) Még a habja is tapadt a pohárra! Nem semmi! Majdnem a tökéletes ivó-sör kategória!!! Re-rate: a tökéletes ivó sör kategória.

Kicsi, tartós hab, bronz szín. Zöldfűszeres, kissé virágos illat. Fűszeres, kissé olajos ízek, némi virágos aromával. Hidegen, jó kis ivósör.

clear darker amber colour, one inch creamy, slightly yellowish off-white head, which lasts for several minutes; aroma and taste of a typical bitter: some roasted, nutty, floral, toffee and moderate hoppy notes; easily drinkable - would be an ideal partner for a hot summer afternoon in the garden (or rather a six-pack of them would be)

500ml bottle into glass. Golden pale beer with thin white head. Light carbonation. Light fruity nose, light body, bitter taste. Finish is dark caramel with late bitter hops. Refreshing and peppery.

Jan. '17. A 0.5 l bottle, thanks Marko! It poured a clear ruby body with a small head atop. Quite pleasant aroma, lightly vinous, some bread, hints of caramel and brown sugar. Flavor was straightforwardly bitter, with dry caramel, biscuit, bread... Simplistic, not bad, but a typically bland representative of its style. Medium bodied with longer finish that showed some distinct cardboard-like bitterness. Not really a big fan of the style, okay for low ABV I guess.

Cask at the Bull on Bell Street, Henley. Pours dark amber, with a small off white head. Aroma of toffee, roasted malt, nut, hint of chocolate, dark fruits and molasses. Medium sweetness and bittrrness. Medium body, oily texture, average to soft carbonation. Bitterness increasing in finish. A good beer.

500ml bottle as Brakspear Bitter. Bought from local supermarket Pours amber with a small light brown head. Smells honey and malty. Tastes sweet malty with a very bitter finish. Nice session beer.
