Pored with a small head and little carbonation.Pleasant but not sure why M and S wanted to sell it as its not a stand out bitter. PJClarke (609), London, Greater London, England May 31, 2009 It looks horrid and flat. Very bland and slightly honeyed cereal nose, a little sickly. Very flat, very sweet, actually quite tasty.
