500ml bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours clear copper with a small beige head. Aroma is toasted malt, earthy hops, toffee. Taste is tangy, fruity, malt, herbal hops. To me it’s just an English bitter.

Kiepski bitter, powiedzialbym ze bardziej EPA. Sprawia wrazenie jakby byl rozwodniony, moze zle przechowywany w sklepie i podczas wysylki, na skraju przydatnosci do spozycia, piana mizerna na 2cm, sporo pecherzykow powietrza, mojej szklanki Samuela Smith'a nic nie obkleja z jej pozostalosci, jasna barwa mocno pod swiatlo wpatrujac sie ciut mglistosci mozna sie doszukac, wytrawne i goryczkowe za to jest, ale wszystko jest tu nieudane w tym EPA

Keg @ Black Bull Inn, Coniston. Golden with a thick frothy-bubbly head. Has a heavy carbonation and an understated lager character, but this is not a bad thing as it's quite refreshing for it.

Bottle @ Black Bull Inn, Coniston. Clear golden with no head. Light hoppy bitter but the pasteurisation evident. Would stick to cask on this.
