Sample, thanks oh6gdx! Clear copper colour, mid sized head. Leafy caramel aroma. Sweetish with light body and clean, rounded mouthfeel. Caramel, leafs and cabbage. Mid bitter finish.

500ml bottle. Clear Amber, off white foam atop. Aroma of very faint, light malt. Taste presents a very light caramel sweetness, typical southern best bitter I suppose. Drinks well. No complaints.

275ml bottle as part of a Morrisons beer pack of 4 traditional ales for £4. Light brown, small off-white head, reasonable retention. Aroma of grass, straw, some citrus, quite light. Taste is caramel, straw, light hop, hint of vanilla. Light to medium bodied. As I review, this is in the worse 2% of ordinary bitters. Its not a great bitter but its not that bad. Its a bit basic but I quite enjoyed the caramel flavour and its far from watery.

RERATE : Cask at Oddfellows Arms, Nantwich (not listed on RateBeer). Pours bitter brown with a sizeable frothy off-white head with toffee in the aroma. In the mouth it is quite juicy with malts to the fore plus a hint of traditional hops. Later some sweetness comes through with oranges and spicy traces. ORIGINAL REVIEW : Cask at Roebuck, Burton on Trent Bit of a hasty review this, as I had a train to catch. May need a rerate. Pours bitter brown with a small cream head and good lacing. Has an aroma of cream and toffee. In the mouth it is sweet with flavours of oranges, malts and toffee. Some bitterness in the finish. Swiggable. (5:6:6:3:10= 2.7) CONCLUSION : I got the description pretty much correct first time – but it is now much more enjoyable. Perhaps because it is now brewed by Marstons in Burton ?

Bottle BBE in 12 months. Copper pour with decent head. A mild aroma of malt and spice but it doesn't exactly pack a punch. The malt flavour comes through with hints of stone fruit and a nice earthy and spicy note. Quite sweet with a mild bitterness running through. Moderate carbonation and body. Its decent, I enjoyed it.

Thin off white head stayed on a clear tea coloured still body. Big malty aroma. Medium bodied, smooth on the front with a sharp back. Malt, berries, spices, tea & tangy fruit tastes. Classic 1980's!
