Golden pale yellow, good bitterness. Normally at 3.4% I'd not rate it too highly - but I went onto this after I'd already had a few, so it was refreshing to be able to consume another 4 or 5 of these!

[handpump at Hope Tap, Reading] Chestnut colour with a thin, lasting, soap-sud like head. Initially bitter, then treacle, earth, autumn leaves and some honey. Aftertaste bittersweet with some earth & treacle; very sticky mouthfeel. Tastes stronger than ABV would suggest. An enjoyable pint, but stickiness would mean you wouldn’t want too much.

[keg at Letchworth Hall Hotel, Letchworth] Well, I had to rate this at some point. I remembered it from a long time back as being fairly dire, but given that the only other bitter on tap at my mate's wedding reception was the dismal Courage Best, I thought I'd give it a try. Maybe it wasn't so bad after all? But no, my memories were correct. There's the tiniest hint of sweet malt, a very faint tang of dusty hops, but mainly the taste is of water - it's as weak as you like. Any further possible taste (and I doubt there is any) is wiped out by the huge metallic bitterness in the aftertaste. And there's not even the smooth creaminess that you expect from a nitrokeg beer. Y'know - everyone loves to slate Bud, but I do feel that Bud is much closer to the decent lagers than this muck is to the decent bitters. It's simply dreadful - I'm not convinced it should be classed as a bitter, or even a beer.

[handpump at the Hobgoblin, Reading] Beautiful bright gold with a minimal white head. Soft but slightly prickly fizz. A sour bitterness at first. A little malt and a little grass comes through. Very easy drinking, and the softness is somehow moreish. The bitterness grows in the finish, but there’s not really a lot to this beer. Disappointing overall.

A dark brown winter ale. Tangy, chocolate taste with a rich finish. Quite easy to drink for it's ABV.

A golden coloured summer beer with lots of flavour and hints of caramel. Dry and hoppy.

A refreshing straw coloured ale. Excellent as a summer quaffing drink. Fresh, bitter with fruity overtones and a slightly dry, hoppy finish.
