October 2016: 500 ml bottle, from Ales by Mail. ABV is 3.8%. Clear copper colour, moderate head, slightly off-white. Nice lacing. Aroma of malts, hints of toffee. Slightly dry flavour, fairly distinct earthy hops, bitter finish.

500ml bottle. Pint glass. Enjoyed on apr´12. Amber color, crystal clear appearance. Off-white, large bubbled, froth. Slowly fading crown creates lacing rings that look like a bar codes on sides. Floral, bready touch & yeast aromas. Dry hoppy upfront followed by mildy malts & gentle acid orange hues. Clean bitterness lingers to the end. Light body, soft carbonation. Pleasant flavorful mouhfeel. Fruity finish & aftertaste. Refreshing. Very easy drinkability. Wanna get into the English Bitter world ? Ok, take one of these. It perfectly works as a session beer with only 3.8% ABV.
