Draught (not a real ale) at ’Archers’, Osborn str, London, UK. Dark red - light mahogany, almost clear, little sparkle, thin off-white head. Malty and a bit burned aroma, very light herbal. Smooth, sweetish taste with a rather assertive citrus tartiness (or is it a poorly kept installation?) and a gentle but lingering bitterness. Soapy palate, weak carbonation.

440 ml can, 3.3% ABV. Orange amber colour with a thin but lasting fizzy off-white head. Very soda-ish look. Moderate caramel aroma. Fruity with a light lingering bitterness, maybe a bit of staleness. Light bodied and watery.

March 2004 Keg. Royal Oak, near Folkestone. Creamy. Thin. Dry. Some mild and attractive bitterness that finishes only a bit stale. Finish soon fades. There’s nothing quality about this, but it’s mostly inoffensive. Acceptable for a keg. [1.9]
July 2007 Keg. Kentish Lady, boat on the Medway. An acceptable malt tasting bitter - not heavily carbonated. Drinkable, with some hop pellet bitterness to finish. [2.3]

Can. Amber bronze, thin moderately lasting white head and moderate condition. Low fruity caramel aromas, thin in the mouth with traces of fruity caramel and a sweet toffee finish.

Can. Soapy and flowery hop aroma. Sweet malt and toffee flavours. Not really bitter enough for me.

Cask Conditioned at The Saye & Sele Arms, Broughton. Copper amber colour with thin head. Boiled to a mild tasteless mush of flavours, is this bitter? Not in my book. A little maltiness and sweetness, not much else.

Amber colour. Mild, malty and slightly hoppy. A little weak body. It has a short finish.
