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 !
