Description
NOTE: This listing is for beers originally produced by Whitbread Beer Company which continued to be produced following its purchase by Interbrew (Inbev) in 2001. Any beers not produced after 2000 are separately listed.

The Whitbread Beer Company officially stopped making beer in May 2000, and sold its brewing operations and beer brands to the Belgian brewing group Interbrew in 2001 (which later became part of Anheuser-Busch InBev).

Some Whitbread-branded alcoholic beverages are still available in the UK, such as canned Whitbread bitter, but these are not produced by Anheuser-Busch InBev, but rather under licence by other producers.

440ml can from Sainsbury’s because they were selling off single cans for 58 pence each. Clear copper colour, lasting beige head. This was one of the first bitters I drank all those years ago. Not to many high hopes on opening this. Bit of creaminess on aroma. Faint hop, but not much else. Fine, but thin in the mouth. Some bitterness on the end, but no real character. Dull.

Is this Sam Adams...no it’s Sam Whitbread. I purchased this by mistake thinking I was buying a Mackeson white wheat beer. Well, if Mackeson ain’t Sam Adams then I guess Whitbread ain’t Sam Adams, even tho they are all the boston beer company ( as opposed to brooklyn?) Slightly darker than your typical pale yellow american beer style but has a similar taste and finish. I was expecting something more bitter but was pleasantly surprised. Buy yuengling traditional lager for much less cash and be happy! Will not buy again.

Bottle. copper with a white head. Flavor is not as good as I expected, as I expected a slightly more hoppy flavor, but got a more malty flavor instead.

Bottle: Amber coloured, mid-sized lasting froth; malty nose with a faint tinge of herbal hops; initial slightly sweetish malty taste; shy (and not moderate !) bitter flavour; mild malty and maybe fruity finish with a nearly not existing hoppy aftertaste. Mild and pretty boring !

Pour is a nice dark brown with a big white head. Aroma is a nice mix of oily hops. Flavor is where this falls a bit flat. If your looking for a great hop flavor like SNPA well you looking in the wrong place. Its more of a bready and nutty mix and even that is not real great. Its does have it quallities, in the aroma, and i could try it again to see if I am being to hard on this brew.

[Bottle at Wenlock Arms, London] An amber beer with a small orange head. The nose is very hoppy while the flavor is dry hoppy and a little roasted. Nice without being something special.
