500ml bottle from Beers Of Europe. Pours clear chestnut with a beige head. Aroma: biscuits, caramel, earthy hop. The taste follows, more caramel, hedgerow fruits, nutty, light grassy, wee metallic note. Light to medium body with moderate carbonation. Not memorable but I wasn't expecting much.

Bottle from local Asda. Nice aroma of biscuits, malt and a hint of lemon. Pours golden amber with a small transient white head. Medium carbonation. Malts and biscuit again in the mouth, but now with some bitter hoppiness, which lingers in the finish. A really good traditional bitter- it’s nice to have a beer which tastes of beer for a change !

Historical tick which I am adding as a rate so that I can see the impact it has on my stats. 500 Beers To Try Before You Die. Beers of Europe. Took a while to track this one down and then it was a case of, Oh... is that it?
