Based on draught version: Just your average English bitter. Nothing too exciting.

Sept, 2002: Keg, Kent. Tastes of weak, stale beer and old damp cardboard. [0.5]
August, 2004: Keg, Shipwrights Arms, Chatham. A rough local. Soft fruity aroma. Prickly mouthfeel from the co2. A nutty fruit. No hop awareness. Barely beer. [1.2]
August, 2006 <a href=http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/28/286 Charlotte/Rochester>Queen Charlotte, Rochester Keg Greasy cardboard. Rancid fruit. Cold and fizzy. This is dreadful. I’m really not sure why people drink this stuff. Dreadful. Offensive. [0.9]
Nov, 2008 Two Sawyers, Brompton Sour cardboard nonsense. [0.9]

Clear copper color, short head. Aroma is soft malty, fruity. Taste is a bit sweet and malty. Sticky palate.

I’m afraid it’s back again. Sampled in an Irish pub(?) in Torquay before hitting the Guinness. Wish I hadn’t bothered. Red amber murk with best-a-man-can-get head. Faint curranty fruit, a trace of watery apple peel blandness. Dismal.

Keg, at the cricket Lords, Marylebone, London.
Not the most pure of ratings but what the hell. Served in a plastic cup on sunny Sunday at Lords, Day 4, England V New Zealand, the back drop could only have been improved by Australia playing. Amber with large creamy beige head. Strong bitter aroma, with a hint of chemical residue. Not the most natural of aromas. Straight one dimensional bitter flavour.

July 21, 2002 (Keg) A pretty average standard bitter. Drinkable, but not great.

Copper coloured, dying head. Smooth and quite sweet for a bitter. Overall a watery and quite uninteresting brew.
