| 2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | Apr 8, 2008 I was expecting absolute soapy wank, so I was pleasantly suprised that it was just bland and average. So weak you could give this to babies. Drinkable though, I did and it wasn’t that bad. JorisPPattyn (5187), Antwerpen, Belgium
| 1.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 6/20 | Jan 30, 2007 Cask One skim of off-white whatever on top of orange to pale amber beer. No nose apparent. So subdued, that everything in the pub is smellier. Soft-sweet beer, dull and uninteresting. Some doughy "flavour". Sticky in a watery environment. I bet most keg beers are more flavourful than this stuff. motelpogo (4395), Plzen, Czech Republic

| 1.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 1/5 | 7/20 | Dec 22, 2006 Cask (handpump) at the Litten Tree, Westminster, from old notes. I’d always been led to believe Litten Tree Best Bitter was a rebadge of Courage Best, but obviously not. Didn’t pay much attention to the ABV (I’m not sure it was even displayed). Apart from the standard copper colour, this is very poor fare. A dull and lifeless bitter with very little flavour and zero character. Very anaemic and watery. Not helped by being served in poor condition but wouldn’t have been much cop anyway. The best that can be said is that this was an unexpected tick.

Aroma is lightly malty (cookie), lightly hoppy (flowers), with a light note of diacetyl. Flavor is lightly sweet, lightly acidic. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Light to medium body, watery texture, soft carbonation. Zzzzzz. SilkTork (4175), Rochester, Kent, England
