Bottled. Orange colour, mediumsized white head. Bitter citric aroma with some skunky notes. Weak maltish flavour with bitterish hoppy finish. Not that special in anyway. Rich carbonation.

Coppery color, medium sized yellow head. Caramel, sweet, obviously hoppy and bitter aroma. Thin to medum bodied. Flavor is also good for basic bitter: mildly caramelly, hoppy and some bitterness comes up in the end and lasts. Maybe has little bit of too much carbonation and body is pretty thin, but still good for 3.8%.

Orange in colour with rather big and solid head. Aroma is almost as a lager, malty, grainy and just a bit of hops. Flavor is initially malty with some sweetness but ends with a light bitterness.

On handpump from the Cask in The Alex, Derby. No Sparkler. Mid Redish/Brown. A good solid bitter. Kind of dry in the aftertaste. Also had a very nice pump clip :)

Bottle from Rai Wine Shop, Harborne, Birmingham. Tawny colour - like an owl. Small pool of froth. Good strong aroma - spicy, hoppy, fruity and malty. Excellent for the ABV. Firm flavour, finishing with substantial battered malt; preluded by hops and fruit in a pleasant concoction. Ends weaker than it begins, but this is a great session Bitter.

(sampled cask-conditioned at Akkurat, Stockholm) Hazy amber with a thick bubbly white foam. Weak aroma of grass and citric hops. Light flavour metallic hops, grass and toffee. Grassy aftertaste with a orangey note in the background. Thin bodied.

(Bottled) Clear, golden color with a medium, creamy and lacy head. Aromatic-hoppy slightly smoky aroma. Fruity and hoppy, slightly sour flavor. A decent, fruity bitter ale, but nothing special.

Bottled: Golden coloured. Clear. Off white head. Huge, dense and lasting. Mateallic and honeyish aroma. Light sweetness. A little boring and uninteresting. Malt, hops, light choco in the flavour. Flavour much better than aroma. Light bitter in the end. Surprisingly good when you look at ABV.
