July 2007: 500 ml bottle, courtesy of Cardinal pub, Stavanger. ABV is 4.0%. What the Football Association has to do with this beer, I don’t know - probably nothing at all. Cloudy golden brown colour, decent head. Very moderate aroma, just a hint of toffee and bakery. "Dusty" and fairly dry flavour with some malt, hints of biscuits and toffee, and moderate hops in the finish.

Coming along with two other beers in a pack of three by IBS, purchased at the Sainsburys. BBE 04/2008, served cool in a straight imperial pint glass.
A: bright brown-ish amber hue; coming with no beer head and a texture like pasteurised cider or fizzy soft drink. Looking really weird.
S: sweet burned-sugary note of pasteurisation with a little trace of palm-sugar and toffee; a faint touch of tea-ish hops in the remote background.
T: burned sugar, boiled vegetables (like lotus roots!!), a strange syrupy sourness of malts, and a faint trace of bitter licorice and chestnuts in the very end... No structure exists in the flavour profile, and I think its definitely pasteurised to a poor standard so that any possibly nice flavour is conspicuous by its absence.
M&D: flat, thin, lack of body, with less than pleasant fizziness. O.K. Ive found a new loser in the category of bottled English bitter, at the price of 1.5 pounds; given IBS decent efforts in bottling many micro-breweries products, I cant imagine how it has done so horribly to this very beer brewed by itself? This beer is not just lacklustre in flavour, but also poorly packaged. I now really regret that I picked it up.
