John Smiths Bitter / Extra Smooth

Brewed by John Smiths (S&N, Heineken)
Style: Bitter
Tadcaster, England

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.

Not good. Weak and watery, partially due to the low alcohol. No traces of hops. Sweet caramel malt flavor all the way through. Low carbonation.

Can: Amber coloured, smaller persistent off-white head; fruity, vegetable-like and malty nose; moderate bitter-sweet flavour, light bodied; vegetables, again. in the malty-bitter finish. Ugh, a pretty nasty stuff.......

Non-nitro can. Pours brown, thin with foamy head which dissolves quickly to soap ring. Vaguely hoppy, caramelly aroma, tastes of caramel, metal and subdued hops. Not good.

Similar to so many - Tennent’s Velvet, etc. A thin beer. More beer than ale. Smooth without depth, aftertaste. I suppose it was refreshing and good warm up for better beverages. Tried on tap in York, England (Russell’s Carvery).

had this in Bahrain on 7/10. pours a dark copper with a white head that goes away quickly, average carbination tastes metalic and a little bitter smells of spice and hops.

Can. Drank in London! Nice fluffy white head and creammy. Sweety caramel aroma and a little bitter watery. Good one! Cerveja escura com uma espuma densa e cremosa. Aroma de caramelo adocicado e um pouco amarga e aguada. boa!

Very enjoyable beer, good value for money, was my regular pint when i lived in london and watched football in the local pub, nice bitterness, a bit creamy, refreshing, light bodied and light tasting, nothing special about this beer, but still when watching foofball this was pretty much the beer for me, cheers!
