Quite coppery and peculiar going down. A few pears thrown in. was rich and felt thick. Had it at a great little pub in melbourne: The elephant and wheelbarrow before going to see Live play and drinking the worst tasting heinekins you will ever find.

Poured a clear amber color w.th a big white head. Aroma was of mostly bland malts, with some spicy hops floating in there. Flavor was much the same, sweetness in the foretaste and a decent hop finish.

...big can. Not too bad at all, I was surprised. Weird malty flavor, as I can remember. I need to try this again to refresh my memory, but I think it was pretty decent, and relatively inexpensive.

Bottle. Amber colour with a white head. Light caramel aroma. Malty taste, some grainy notes.

Can -- Pours an orangey brown with no visible carbonation but a short creamy white nitro head with good retention and tremendous lacing. The aroma is gentle malt with a bit of bread and fruit. Gentle, creamy mouthfeel with no carbonation. The flavour is also gently malty with a little bitterness at the end. This was my favourite brew 20 years ago during a trip to England -- sitting in a warm pommy pub on a cold winter’s night with a pint of this was heavenly. It’s still OK 20 years on in Australia &#40;sort of friendly, warm and comforting, actually&#41;, but it really needs the British backdrop to bring out the flavour.
