Can. Nice white good fully lasting head. Microhead due to plasticball. Week to no aroma, average falcorfinish, OK bitter. Soft carbonated, but a bit watery.

Iv had this on draught down in blackpool before and remember it being really really rubbish, this wasnt quite as bad thankfully. Aroma is seriously minimal due to head, not offensive. Taste is lightly bitter with a showing of slight caramel malt. Forgetable, but not terrible.

Keg @ Hogshead, Exeter. Drank whilst on a crawl round Exeter unfortunately all of my companions seemed to have an antipathy to any pubs serving real ale and both cask were gone in the Hogshead. As a chain they used to be OK for real ale but now they dont seem to give a sh*t. As for the beer it wasn’t great but better than the Tetleys and John Smiths I drank earlier in the evening. This possessed a moderate traditional English hop aroma - earthy and rustic with faint floral but non perfumey undertones. Unfortunately that was about all it did have the thin dead body spoiling any chance of enjoyment, just about drinkable.

Magically tastes like honey beer, though there be no honey in it. Best drunk in manchester. A bit horrid in a can. Bitter for lager drinkers.

Pretty much the same as Tennents Vevet. This was no.2 in a canned "draught" beer tasting. A touch lighter in colour than Velvet, but just as bland and of an equally poor quality. Poured this away too!

Beer No 8 on the Wilsons’ Road Trip 2005. Nitrokeg at Twirl of Hay Brewer’s Fayre, Chester (no cask beer, geez). Piss yellow. Creamy nitro head masks any aroma at all. Too cold. Mouthfeel slick and nitrokeggy. No discernible hop on finish. Thank the Lord I only had a half.
