The definitive English Bitter. This fine, golden coloured beer, now restored to 3.8% ABV, has a full flavour that lingers pleasantly on the palate. With a good bitter-sweet balance this beer has a robust hop character described as citrus and spicy. It’s a refreshing and very satisfying pint – noted for the aroma of its Fuggles and dry hopping strain Golding to add to its characteristic Theakston aroma.

Cask conditioned in Northern England. Many British raters seem to hate this beer, but I found it as a very drinkable standard session bitter, with a decent maltiness and acceptable hops. Dusty finish. Maybe not a true masterpiece, but certainly not bad from a well kept cask.

Cask. This is I suppose a fairly decent amber coloured beer, with balanced hops and malts and a light mouthfeel. But it just has far too little alcohol.

Flat amber in color with a very full head for a bitter. Aroma was a bit stale and non-distinctive. Nice lightly bitter flavor from the hops - malt was decent but a bit sour. A metallic note was present throughout - possibly from the can - strangely enough it wasn't really annoying. Re-reading this review it seems I didn't like it, but that wasn't the case. It did seem to be missing something though - not much charisma.
