typical cooper colored bitter with white head. aroma was fruity and malty. tastes like mineral water and beer, but not offensive. very little hop of malt character. watery palate.

Cask at The Red Lion (Westminster - London).
Creamy and compact head, Irish type, good persistence and duration. Red clearly color, much limpid and stationary. Bitter and pleasant scent; malr and cereal notes with rumors of wood, resin and ash. Smooth, dry, little alcoholic and much bitter taste. Medium duration final.

Draught at "Beefeaters Inn" Gothenburg, Sweden.
Dark amber color. Thick beige creamy head. Fresh light hoppy scent. Low to medium bitterness. Very refreshing. Fruity aftertaste.

Cask at Twickenham Stadium (2006 Rugby Union Powergen Cup Final). Pale amber with a small head. A very faint hoppy aroma. The taste has a curious peppery note that wasn’t altogether unpleasant but it needed more bitterness at the end.

Good average bitter, no outstanding features. Reasonable aroma and flavours...average on all counts! Kings Arms,Melrose.

Cask: Dove & Olive Branche, Grasmere. Late summer 2004. Amber color, lasting creamy head. Hoppy seaweed aroma. Sweetish, malty flavor with some butterscotch and still a fair deal of hops. Grassy, seaweed finish. Much better as I expected.
