Bland, nondescript bitter with an appropriate name. Sweet bready aroma, a little granny smith apple taste. I’m a sucker for nitro-infused beers in the appearance stakes, but this is dull as.

bought as a 0.5L can from Malta. pours a lovely coppery coloured liquid under a foamy white top. good taste and not that much dry to the palate. good english brand - this is my favourite style of beer.
