Tasted at The Capitol, a Wetherspoons pub in Forest Hill, SE London. This beer is one of the offerings during the chains Full Moon Beer Festival in late October.
A: dark straw hue with chill-haze, coming with a faint beer head and very low carbonation.
S: hop-dominated noselightly skunky/earthy note of Fuggles(?) skirts Styrian Goldings slightly sharp and spicy edge of grapefruits and citrus-peels. Simplistic but refreshingly hoppy.
T: full-flavoured citric hoppyness and deepening biscuity pale malts develop smoothly together, showing several layers of flavours on top of each other, mildly lubricating the tongue with a liquidy bitterness added with a healthy input of sourness along with lingering malt flavour and floral aroma in the aftertaste, until hitting a clean, even crisp, finish.
M&D: light-bodied, with a soothingly spritzy mouthfeel ideal for a fresh cask ale. Quaffable, if not remarkable.

Presentation: Sampled at the New Beehive, Bradford during my Easter Trip back to the UK. The choice was either Timothy Taylors Landlord or the one Guest beer which was listed on the Pubs chalkboard as Mordue 5 Bridges (3.8%). I opted for an Imperial Pint from the Handpump. Later research in the current GBG actually has this called Five Bridge Bitter I note.
Appearance: Pale amber with a dark golden hue when held to the light streaming through the stained glass windows into the dingy interior of the New Beehive. Decent enough head, slightly off-white in color. Some lacing from the sinking pint each time I took a swig. Moderate carbonation but it held up well.
Nose: Had a rather fruity nose which surprised me a little. Malt and Hops balance in the classic way in this English Session Bitter.
Taste: Starts with a temperate flavor profile, a balanced malt and hop session Ale that does not rock any boats. After the first mouthful though, there is a rising hop bitterness in the finish which lingers in and after the swallow which rescues this one from mediocrity. Clean and crisp lines.
Mouthfeel: Delicate body that felt a little thin at times to be honest, though the carbonation helped to keep interest whilst trying to find the body in this one - somehow it all evened out to lend quite an average feel in the end.
Drinkability: Clean easy-drinking brew with a nicely hopped finish that lends some interest. Simple but quite effective, an easy-going Bitter, I could easily have taken a second one, but maybe not a third.
Overall: A nice enough brew, very simple in its genetic make-up. Nothing outstanding, but the hoppy finish in this light ale makes for a good run-of-the-mill Session beer nevertheless.
