Had this numerous times and in a 500ml bottle/ slightly nutty, slight hoppy, mostly boring. Page 40 of MJ’s Classic Brews only 480 to go

(Can BB 03/07) Fruity, slightly toffee and malty aroma. Amber colour, clear and average size, white, very slightly lasting head with good lacing. Fruity, slightly toffee, malty and very slightly bitter flavour. Softly carbonated and medium-bodied palate with a metallic hint. 19/10/06

Yellow and quite malty.Fairly full bodied and left some lacing. I cant really remember cask Bass in its heyday and I am sure this is nothing like it but it was still a reasonable if uninspiring bitter.

it’s a rather smooth with a soapy head. it’s a good beer, but that’s about it. complexity on the palate is lacking. it does have a beautiful pale ale color, but the pro’s do not continue on much past that. i would recommend this beer if you enjoy Sierra Nevada’s Celebration Ale. otherwise, seek alternate route. as far as taste - ’highlandlad’ has a review that is quite accurate.

Admirably leafy, tea-like hoppy bitterness, but little else of interest. Maybe a dash of nuttiness or rum-like alcohol. Tizerish red-orange body that readily assumes a headless stillness. Becomes slightly more engaging as it warms, but a dour and sanitised interpretation of the cask ale.

This is terrible stuff. Aroma is lager malts with skunked hops. Taste is similar complete rubbish really bad in every way.

Dull English bitter. Fairly clean but spoiled by pasteurisation. Coppery hue with a sparse sudsy head. Looked undercarbonated and uninviting. Drab pasteurised aroma - very metallic, with some raisins and a tot of diluted rum. Standard thinnish bitter body with minimal carbonation. Some dark fruits, honey notes and boiled lollies but geez it’s dull. Partially redeemed by a nice chewy back-palate and a lip-smacking herbal bitterness. (500ml bottle from Jim’s Cellars, Crows Nest. Best before Dec 06)

bottle, nice honey-tea color with good head that sticks arond, a little bitter aftertaste and the flavor keeps me interested although not overly impressed. if its between this and a budwieser or miller you know which to go with. if its between this and another english ale i would go with the other.
