This is my all time favourite ordinary bitter, such a small beer with big complexities. So drinkable to the point of going down like water, malt is a bit thin but that is they way the style is. Malt was faintly doughy from hints of yeast and lightly kilned grain. Great subtle hopping with a balance of bitterness and flavour. A faint haze lingered but the lace sat well and seems to stick here and there.

500ml bottle poured in a chalice.

A: Pours a golden orange bit cloudy color. Forms a medium white bit yellow aired head. Medium retention and some nice lacings

S: Smells like a good bitter :), I mean, caramel malts, toffee and grassy and citrus hops. Bready. Simple but pleasant

T: Follows the nose. A caramel upfront followed by a watery and malty body with a good bitter-grassy-pine-citrus hoppy aftertaste. A little bit metallic. In overall a dry and bitter taste, no sweetness

M: Very light wayery body. Nice medium carbonation. Reasonable ( an good!) hoppy bitter aftertaste

O: Very drinkable as a English Bitter should be. Nice one

look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3 | feel: 3 | overall: 3.5

A - Furiously effervescent clear orangey red amber body, beneath two fingers of soapy head which fades quick and leaves no real lacing.

S - Subtle malt aromas of caramel and golden syrup with some clove and faint fruity hops.

T - Follows the nose with the caramel and orchard fruit. Mildly bitter with a touch of metal taste.

M - Light body, watery, moderate carbonation.

O - It wont blow your socks off but I suppose EBs aren't really supposed to hit too hard. Pleasant beer for a quiet chat at the pub.
