Oct 19, 2009 440ml can, as shown. Clear golden copper colour, small off-white head that is gone very quickly, but leaves some lacing. Aroma of berries and malt. Grainy, slightly watery mouth feel, Mildly sweet taste at first, again a wee bit of berries in the flavour. Increasingly malty note and dry, bitter finish. Slightly metallic after taste. This is an ok "from the can" bitter, but not one I’ll order again. Among canned bitters, I prefer Boddington’s and John Smith Extra Smooth (in and of themselves average beers).

Sep 13, 2009 Canned, nitro. Good for a canned beer, I wouldn’t mind a session of these. Aroma is fruity, maybe muted by the nitrogen. Flavour is sweet, with bitter notes, nicely balanced. Good mouthfeel although watery, medium body. Copper colour and long-lasting thick white head.

Sep 7, 2009 Can, "Smoothflow". Brilliantly clear copper color with a thick creamy head. (On the widget front, that’s the fastest settling nitro head I’ve seen.) Grainy and light biscuit aroma. Very dry grain, light apple fruitiness and some wet dog biscut, though I’m not 100% sure I find that to be a fault. Almost an earthy hop bitterness on the end.

Sep 1, 2009 Smoothflow can with thick creamy head and smooth texture. Ordinary session bitter. Pleasant but unassuming.

Aug 13, 2009 Grainy aroma. Mahogany with an off-white large head. Flavour is caramel with grainy overtones. Very watery. Finishes sweetish, followed by a slightly bitter aftertaste. Not bad, though I’d wish it was less watery.

Aug 10, 2009 Poured a dark nut brown, slightly cloudy with a thick and creamy off-white head. Dusty, bready, mildly fruity and grainy aromas. Fruity, dusty flavours with a caramel malt base. Smooth mouthfeel, a bit of a grainy texture, short finish but easily drinkable.
