Wim (1278), Turnhout, Belgium Aug 2, 2009 amber coloured body with a off white head a herby spicy aroma a herby spicy wattery bitter taste with a wattery bitter finish Yves (989), Beerse, Belgium Aug 2, 2009 Clear amber coloured beer with small white head and lots of carbonation. Medium palate. Finish is herby ending bitter and slightly dry, a soft ending. DruncanVeasey (2690), The Penguin’s Arms, Europe, Warwickshire, England May 12, 2008 Searles, Hunstanton. Thin nutty malt aroma. Biscuit, vanilla, chalk and vegetable water. Heavily diluted gravy, varnishy bitterness. Pretty awful, but bearable. Makes total sense it’s brewed by John Smith’s. joss (3630), Garching b. München, Germany Dec 3, 2007 Can. Chestnut colouring, off-white whipped cream head. Neutral, light nutty aroma. Metallic roasted base flavor - shavings off a rusty nail in water, light bitter finish. Thin mouthfeel, metallic on the roof of the mouth. Watery finish. detroitsteel (231), Greater London, England Sep 10, 2007 Draught at Cheshunt Rugby Club. It was served very cold, but still had some flavour - a tea-ishness with hints of citrus. Any hoppiness that may have been there was frozen out and the serving temp. also killed off the finish. However I enjoyed it - it was a most refreshing post-match pint. imdownthepub (5086), Banbury, Oxfordshire, England Mar 11, 2007 Tinned, pasteurised. Brown amber, a little murky, carbonated but short lasting head. All that was available at a party, so had several, largely tasteless, maybe some boiled malt and sticky sugary caramel notes, otherwise just dull and boring. Drank to be sociable. Rune (2744), Tromsø, Norway Feb 14, 2007 Can. Deep brown body under a creamy, white head. Malty aroma. Taste like watered flavoured caramel. A bit smoky impression. Can’t find the bitterness.

Half from the wonderful (not at all) Cherry Orchard in Newington. Had this listening to the local "talent" slaughter Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd. It has to be said the beer matched up to the quality of the music. So watery I could have put a goldfish in there and it wouldn’t have died. Nothing in the nose or flavour. The only thing of note was a slight bitterness to the finish. Yum!
