440ml can from Waitrose, in Bath, England. Pours a very dark brown color with dark ruby highlights and a large, thick, light tan head and excellent retention. Very good lacing. Dark chocolate aroma. The taste follows the nose, with sweet milk chocolate and dark bittering chocolate notes mixing together. Creamy texture. Super smooth and clean. Almost a dessert beer. Medium body. Medium-light carbonation. Low bitterness. And the 6.8％ ABV is invisible. Great beer

500 ml bottle from Stonehenge, Salisbury, England. Pours a clear orange-bronze color with a thick khaki head and excellent retention. Very good lacing. Light caramel and light bitter aroma. The taste follows the nose, with even lighter caramel notes and a lightly bitter finish. Smooth and clean. I‘m not getting any of the fruity nose. A decent beer. At least these best bitters in bottles taste better than the tap offerings in England. Medium body. Medium-light carbonation. Light bitterness.

440ml can from a deli in Llangollen, Wales, UK. Pours a clear pale yellow-gold color with a small white head and fair retention. Barely any lacing. Standard pale malt aroma. The taste follows the nose：A straightforward pale lager, and really good. Clean and smooth. Lightly sweet. I don’t get any of the lemon or toffee notes mentioned on the can. Unremarkable, yet very good. Medium-light body. Light carbonation. Very low bitterness. I wish I bought more than one.

12 oz.bottle from Aldi. Pours a crystal clear orange-gold color with a white head and good retention. Decent lacing. Standard pale lager aroma. Standard pale malt flavor too, with some bready notes in the finish. Slightly sweet. Nothing special, but a good example of the festbier style. Smooth, clean, and easy drinking. Easily repeatable. Medium body. Medium carbonation. Low bitterness. Prost!

12 oz. bottle from Aldi. Pours a clear dark garnet color with a beige head and very good retention. Scattered lacing. Dark fall spices aroma. The taste follows the nose: Dark spices followed by some sweet caramel malts in the finish. Not over-spiced. Tastes like a mix of pumpkin beer and amber lager. A nice take on the style. Medium body. Low carbonation with a slick texture. Not bitter. Better than I expected.
