[Hand pumped, in England] Amber color. Poor aroma, pretty sweet but with a really enjoyable freshness, and quite bitter final. Basic Bitter, on the simple side, but enjoyable.

Rerate, cask at the Station Hotel, Ipswich: Some of the same English malt vinegar aroma as Courage Best, but the flavour is fuller and richer with more pronounced hops. Original rating, 4.1: (Cask conditioned). One of my favourite English Bitters. Perhaps not so very special, but always drinkable.

Kind of bland for a cask ale. It also comes in a different sort of widget can, this one trying to replicate cask ale character. It doesn't do a bad job of that, but like I said, this isn't one of the best cask ales in England.
