Gentle light-headed pale-bodied ‘bitter’ ale with Band-Aid nose, delectable mineral water smoothness, and mild cherry recess contrasting subtle dry-hopped malted grain sweetness of medium strength bottle-conditioned alternative to brewers’ traditional ESB. But specificity lacks for this lean Euro.

Doughy aromatic yeast, gently dissipating hops and sedate mineral-watered smoothness mollify sweet Scotch malting. Less obtrusive than most stronger, finer English ales. Inoffensive enough to be recommended to amateurs.

Ice tea-colored canned draught retains resiliently thick cumulous head, creating a swirled thicket that leaves oodles of foamy Brussels lace on glass walls. Caramelized citrus aroma hits first, then creamy textural elegance defers nuttiness and coffee depth of Guinness for a lighter lager alternative securing spoiled orange souring, tea-like urging, and mocha reminder.

Sharpshooter Calamity Jane pictured on label of cascade-hopped smoothie also known as Uncle Sam’s Bitter. Easing whiskey malt opening briskly enjoins sweet and sour yeast resonation, but astringent bitterness depletes some moderate-bodied character.

On tap, expressive amber-glowed Bitter integrates heavily-hopped yellow-fruited souring with lingering nutty malt pleasantry as taut mocha presence increases for rounded unfiltered pleasantry.

Musty black currant simmer and moldy orange souring confront root vegetable earthiness, peaceably relegating dank cellar-fungi waft. Herbal touch softens yeast-y butterscotch-toffee muck. Bitter? Nah.

Root beer-hued bitter propels smoked barley-oats and buttery almond congruity above shrewd spice-fruited taffy undercurrent. Pleasant caramelized Scotch malts enliven fully-formed sinewy prune finish. Softer palates will not be turned off.

Bruised lemon tartness tucked inside soured wheat-maize fleece and light barley tease of hazy golden medium body. Malt-y cocoa finish emerges beyond candied citric insinuation and restrained peach-pear-apple wisp.

Green-bottled, pearly bubble-headed, scurvy-scented, amber-hued Belgian bitter maintains plush carbolic fizz and hefty citric-herbal hop tartness to dirty-grained foundation, culminating with durable yeat-sweetened barnyard-dried orange peel finish. Expansive hop-embittered prevalence conveys earthy ashen slither after few sips.

Durable rust-hued bubbly-headed fruit-hopped Extra Special Bitter propels saturated mocha thickness above light grained citrus tang and nutty residue. Abundant carbonation never disturbs creamy barley-toasted caramel malt synergy. By robust finish, it’s nuttier than fruitier.

Fruity nose, sweet barleymalt palate, and dry citric-hop tang given distant candied nut-berry backdrop. Closer to amber ale as its bright fruit zest directly counters brazen grain bitterness, but lack of bite diminishes piney finish.

Bittersweet brown chocolate theme picks up minor sour grapefruit-lemon tinge and frail vegetal smear, leaving coppery dry body astringently metallic by mocha finish.
