Draught @ Manchester Airport.
Clear medium amber color with a large, creamy, good lacing, fully lasting, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, roasted, caramel, earth. Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with a average duration, earty, and green potatoes. Body is medium, texture is oily to watery, carbonation is soft. [20090720]

(Draught at Manchester Airport, 26 July 2009) Dark amber colour with creamy, beige head. Malty nose with notes of dark fruit, apricots, wort and toffee. Slightly toasty and rather tired. Malty, nutty taste with caramel, wort, dried fruit and no evident traces of hops. Medium body, smooth mouthfeel. Rather sweet. Quite industrial but not too bad.

Awesome to watch this one settle, although I was getting a bit impatient! After settling, appears a creamish brown colour with a small yet quite thick white head. Weak aroma, yeasty with a bit of toffee. Nice smooth creamy mouthfeel, but the flavour is a bit weak for my liking, mostly malt and toffee. Finish was excellent, malt and a touch of bitterness. Far better then I was expecting for a beer of 3.6% ABV, very sessionable, would gladly drink this on a long day or night if I don’t want to get blotto.

Draught (pint) at Travelodge, Cardiff, Wales. Copper colour with big long lasting head. Weak red berry aroma. Quite sweet toffee flavour, not quite bitter. Basic ale. Also Extra Cold tasted (tried to taste). Too cold.

Pretty flat in CO2, damp liquid. Brownish and a bit boring colour but with a smooth head at least. At first a bitter striking flavour but quickly flattening out, unfortunately. A rather average a bit rotten egg aroma. soft and smooth on the lips but overall rather average. Used to like the beer more years ago but I must have lost the taste for it over the years. Nonetheless an interesting and drinkable bitter for the time being.

On-tap as Tetleys Smooth Flow. Light brown color with a very creamy head. Almost no aroma when cold, a bit of caramel, metall, and light hop bitterness. Flavor: Lightly toasted malt, caramel, metall, light hoppiness. Very creamy. Cold and not much flavors or armoas.

On-tap as Tetleys Smooth Flow. Light brown color with a very creamy head. Almost no aroma when cold, a bit of caramel, metall, and light hop bitterness. Flavor: Lightly toasted malt, caramel, metall, light hoppiness. Very creamy. Short finish. Drinkable, but very cold and watery. I´m not really a fan of the smoothflow/nitro thing.
