Draught at Oyster Pub, Isle of Seil in Scotland. Golden with a nice and creamy head. The flavour is mild and smooth without much depth. it has light notes of caramel and the finish has a nice bitterness. Re-rated from can - and it’s the same experience.

Nitro can poured into pint glass. Pours orange amber colour with a tall creamy white head. Aroma and flavour are faint with hints of caramel, malt and bitterness. Average bitter.

Very little aroma, hints of fresh hops. Nice clear dark amber with thick creamy white head. Malty and lots of mild bitterness in aftertaste. Palate is nice and creamy with little co2 which suits this beer well.

Pours amber with medium lasting head. Not very unique, but it fills its place as a decent reasonably priced session bitter. Taste is a bit watery but finishes clean. Just OK.

Pours orange brew with a thick creamy head. Some cream and malt in the taste. Pretty basic and my tastebuds have come a long way since I last had this. Overall a decent session brew but not amazing.

Caramel in color with a creamy head. Sweet caramel malts, light btterness, may have a little roasted malts as well. Nothing amazing, but could a decent session brew.

Hmmmm. not my favorite. Special at an international food festival here in Panama. Don’t think that I’ve had a bitter before, and thought that I’d like it more. Weak and watery, but perhaps that is the style. My wife likened it to sweet dirty dish water. Frothy head at least.

woody, earthy, amber, red, hazy, frothy, light sweetness, medium bitterness, lightly sour, medium body, creamy, slick feel, average carbonation, bitter, If you like bitter then this is the ne for you. The first taste is smooth but the taste is suttle for a bitter lover.
