Bottle. Beer on the Pier brought by Shelton Bros. Rich, alcoholic molasses aroma. Cloudy amber body with an off-white head and nice lace. Mouthfeel is thinner than I expected from teh aroma. Caramelly; very quintessentially English. Too dry and airy though.

A Mes rate: Bland and univiting aroma. Medium brown body with a thin film for a head that lasts reasonably well and leaves plenty of lacing. Flavour is soapy bitter and nothing special for me. Sticky finish. A let down.

From bottle. Lovely copper colour with carbonation. Has no head with a sweet syrup aroma. The beer is crisp and and has a dry bitter taste. I felt the intial after taste was rather metallic but does get better.

Bottle, 500ml. A dark amber-coloured pour with an average lasting head. Aromas of orange and grapefruit. A moderately hoppy, somewhat sweet taste with hints of caramel, citrus and malt. A hoppy, citrus moderately bitter finish. Light carbonation. Not bad, but nothing special.

Beautiful reddish-brown color with a big beige head. Faint sweet, a bit hoppy, scent. Thick mouthfeel, at the same time a bit watery taste. Medium bitterness.
