Pint can from Brit Shop in Leipzig brought home to Toronto! Pours med-dark amber clear minimum head and carbonation. I am tasting rounded light caramel malt profile, rounded lightly bitter hops finish medium-light body, slight vinegar aroma above palate on some sips. Not much going on but drinkable fare.

(draught - keg Woolpack in Braiborne Lees) Medium amber with small off white head. Malt aroma. Malt flavor with not much hops in the finish.

Malty, slightly eggy aroma. Some sweetness in the flavour and minor bitterness. Actually the taste isn’t too bad; it’s just on a very small scale. Afterwards you wonder why you bothered.

A standard (rubbiish) every day dirty northern bitter in the mould of John Smith’s and Tetley’s. Shit!

440ml can from Sainsbury’s because they were selling off single cans for 58 pence each. Clear copper colour, lasting beige head. This was one of the first bitters I drank all those years ago. Not to many high hopes on opening this. Bit of creaminess on aroma. Faint hop, but not much else. Fine, but thin in the mouth. Some bitterness on the end, but no real character. Dull.

Canned. An amber coloured beer which has no aroma save for water. The taste is boring and tinny. There is a little creaminess but otherwise it’s pretty crap.
