    From the cask at the crown in Rochester, kent. Warm. Ruby and dark golden color. Transparent. Skiff of head. Watery tasting tastes of bread and diluted brown sugar. Quick like many English bitters. Touch of overstepped tea like bitterness in the front of the tongue. Nice.

    I liked Courage. Middle brown colour with a bit of head. It strikes me as a lot milder then alot of standard bitters, but it still has a nice body even if there isnt alot on it.

    Fine bitter ale. Deep red-brownish color (turns after cocoa like bubbling), creamy foam, sweetish malty aroma. Rather dry, but smooth and rich, close to medium body. Nicely malty, fruity flavor, average bitterness in few seconds after the sip, smooth and yeasty at the end, moderately bitter aftertaste. I would choose another for drinking one more pint, but it was really worth to try.

    I love this beer in England but only tolerate it here by comparison. And I still love to drink it. It's better in a fresh bottle than draught in America. In England this is always worth a pint or many.

    Rerate, cask at the Station Hotel, Ipswich: Aroma of English malt vinegar, hints of dishwasher liquid. Smooth flavour without too much character. Low on hops. Original rating, 3.1: (Draught). I remember this one as a decent standard bitter, nothing remarkable.
