Brown 500ml bottle, with a years life left according to the best before date. Poured into a standard UK pint glass.

Light brown, amber colour, clear and clean looking, no head, just a thin collar and a poor attempt at a wispy covering.

Sweet candy aroma, strange for a UK bitter, no hops, malts or yeast in the smell at all?

The rear label claimed it contained Malted Barley, a blend of Pale, Crystal and Amber, supplemented with Torrefied Wheat. Fuggles, Progress and Styrian Golding Hops. Well all I can say is; there isn't much of any of them in the taste or aroma. There is a sweet and fruity feel to the brew, not unpleasant, just not what I was expecting from an English Bitter.

The 4.3ABV is just about findable and to be fair it is easy to drink and agreeable to my palate.

Difficult to score objectively, but overall not bad at all.
