Nov 6, 2005 lager but bitter, tastes a bit like watery not fizzy lager and has much the same appearance. Boddingtons is better, but its drinkable.

Nov 3, 2005 Updated: Sep 17, 2007Draught at The 1870 Huntsman Pub (Torino).
Extremely creamy foam, fine and much persistent one. Dark orange color, smooth and lightly hazy. Bitter scent, braced malty and filled with smoke wood rumors. Much dry taste, cleaned up and with a much bitter end. Balanced and persistent.

Oct 22, 2005 Bland. Very bland. If you do make a huge effort to taste the various flavours that are there, it is OK, but it takes a lot of concentration. Good beer to give someone that doesn’t like beer. Kudos for making a "gateway" beer.

Sep 25, 2005 No4 in a canned "draught" tasting. This was the best of a VERY bad bunch. This at least had something on the nose. Overall the 4 beers ( Velvet, Boddingtons, John Smiths & Caffreys) were very poor, with no discernible character. I did have a can of Tetleys to try as well, but 4 beers of such momumental blandness was more than enough for me. I brought my palate back to life with a Franziskaner hefeweizen..lovely!

Sep 1, 2005 A once heavily promoted ale that has now settled into a low cost high profit brand available in many outlets, especially hotels and cinema bars where expectation of quality beer is not high. The beer is wet, cold, nitro smooth and alcoholic; and for many non-discriminating drinkers that is enough. There is some vaque white sugar and fructose sweetness and a bitterness that is more wet cardboard than hops. This is simply bad beer, for which the best that can be said is that the unpleasant flavours are mild enough to be ignored.

Aug 24, 2005 This is very easy to drink, however the lack of any distingushing tastes makes it just the same as any other nitro ale. Maybe a little better than most though.

Aug 7, 2005 looks nice with all the nitro. tastes kind of plain. amber-brown colour. nothing too special really.
