The aroma is malty sweet. The color is nutbrown and it has a fine bubbly head though very fast disappearing. The flavor is sweet, malty, and very light. It has no character and is therefore a very average beer.

Nutty brown in colour with some nutty flavours. Otherwise this has a chemical taste and a poor finish. To try this beer on the cheap just lick a 1p coin.

Cask Conditioned??? Not sure about this as I think it is filtered and put on sale straight away. Little character to the beer, nothing to latch on to as a distinguishing flavour. Boring.

Bog standard English bitter as far as taste goes. Appearance wise, this drink makes you want it. Mahogony with a creamy head. Goes down well with a big greasy pub lunch.

This bitter beer looks good and smells good. It’s a pity about the taste. It tastes like iron filings and sheeps urine soaked in damp acorns. Avoid this beer at all costs!

I like a John Smiths, A pint of John Smiths, Can’t wait to savour, That Yorkshire flavour, It’s so golden and so dear- it’s also very, very clear, Yes I really do adore it, And I’d do anything for it. Well I hold it and I cling to it, I even sing to it, Look at that colour, It’s like no other, .... damn can’t remember the rest. What a classic beer. Not in quality, just one of those ones that I was weened on. It’s everywhere, on tap, in cans soaked into the carpets... 10/10 for their adverts though. Who else would use Penguins and Jake Dee to advertise beer! Oh yeah, rate the beer. Well it’s a nice kinda golden colour and it tastes like any old standard middle of the road bitter from the UK.
