3.1 Bottle from Beers of Europe. Appearance - amber with a generous off white head. Nose - toffee mainly. Brown bread. Taste - burnt toffee, dry digestive biscuits. Palate - crunchy texture. Close to medium bodied. The finish is a little sweet. Overall - ok.

3.3 For the ABV this beer is very good. 3.7% alcohol and you get one decent beer with a lot of flavors. The beer is very malty and remind you one classic england "Bitter - Premium / Strong / ESB " beer. It begin with very warm bitterness in your mouth and in the end give you one very strong and long direction extra bitterness in your neck. The mouthfeel is pleasand and the carboration soft. Overall a great beer to drink with low alcohol and also very refreshing and smooth.

2.7 Nice bubbly bitter Big white frothy head Long lasting bitter malty taste 3.7% Bottle

3.4 Bottle courtesy of SimonTomlinson via the RB EU 2019-3 trade. Thanks! Brown with a fleeting, frothy head. Aroma of caramel, mixed grains. Taste is mildly bittersweet the whole way through, with the bitterness having the upper hand. Long finish full of roasted grain. Light bodied, watery texture, balanced carbonation. Not bad. Good flavor given the low ABV.

3.0 Bottle at WFP 2018, spring edition. Estery with green hoppy notes, sessionable. Decent.

4.0 Vierte en un precioso color ambar cristalino, buena espuma café de larga persistencia y notable adherencia. Algo suave en nariz, con buenas notas de calabaza confitada y miel. Huele dulce pero sabe amargo y chispeante. El amargor es muy claro y expresivo, muy fresco y con un carácter metálico marcado. Buen equilibrio con final amargo. Enorme bebestibilidad. Muy recomendable.

3.1 Fra cask på Water Witch, Lancaster. Delt med Rune. Mørk gyldenbrun. Lavt tett skum. Smaken mørke plommer. Tørr avslutning.

3.4 Aroma: malty and esters. Appearance: amberish color and creamy head. Taste: esters, malty backbone, low herbal bitterness. Palate: low body and medium carbonation. Overall: very decent bitter.

3.3 Sweet malty floral bitter. On the sweet side but smooth and goes down easy.

2.8 Bottiglia da 0.33 Aspetto: schiuma avorio, bollicine a grana grossolana, poco persistente; birra colore ambrato tendente al bruno-rossastro; abbastanza limpida Olfatto: bassa intensità, profumi legati al cereale: frutta secca, caramello, leggero tostato. Erbacee. Sentori di metallico. Gusto: prevalentemente amaro; Sensazioni: ruvida, buona carbonazione, retroolfatto persistente, corpo esile. Giudizio personale: senza lode e senza infamia

3.3 Discretion, maltas, melaza, caramelo, cítrico suave. En boca es aceitosa con un amargor final intenso, plano y herbáceo.

3.0 Dark amber, small white head despite a quite hard pour. Decent retention and some lacing. Mild but nice aroma has caramel and slightly toasted malts, slight red fruits and herbal notes. Also a buttery hint. Taste is caramel malts, slight fruitiness and a herbal and slightly earthy finish. Taste is medium sweet and medium bitter with a slightly bitter finish. Kinda feels like sweet and bitter notes are not perfectly integrated. Light bodied with light to medium carbonation, goes down easily. A traditional bitter even in terms of abv, does it's job at being easily drinkable but doesn't feel that fine to me.

3.5 Første bitter. Ligner en typisk Classic i glasset. Tilbageholdende aroma af malt. Klassisk ølsmag med let sød malt og bitterhed. En øl i fin balance, der går godt til en frokost.

3.3 Light amber color. Nice toasted malt character with medium bitterness, though a bit off balance and watery. ok

3.1 Caramel, toffee, light flowery notes. Clear, dark amber color. Gently bitter taste, semi-dry. Watery, a bit tart.

3.7 Smagen forsvinder meget hurtigt, ligesom i mange andre bitter. Mild uden at være udvandet. En let karamel smag.

3.7 Clear light brown, white head. Malty, rye bread. Light body good bitterness.

3.6 Una buena cerveza, que entra muy suave, y que es muy fácil de beber. Nos ha gustado bastante.

2.2 La St Peter’s Best Bitter è molto leggera (3,7%) con un tenue profumo di sentori erbacei e agrumi. E’ una birra rinfrescante con un finale nettamente amaro.

3.3 From 50cl bottle. Pours dark amber with practically no foam. Aroma is quote liquor-like, despite the low alcohol level, plus it has caramel, a hint of herbaceous, and nuts. Body is medium, with low carbonation. Taste is bitter, though delicate, a little like terrain, not citrus. Typical UK hop flavor. Finish is relatively long in bitterness.

3.5 50 cl bottle from Tosano, 3.30€. Copper to dark amber color, short offwhite head, plenty of lacing. Caramel malts with some lemon, light resin, minerals, black tea. Taste mild bitter. Finish is bitter, with a medium-long persistence, clean.

3.3 Cask at Jerusalem Tavern in London. Clear amber with some white foam. Aroma is tea, leaves, earth, caramel. Flavor is a tad sweet, medium bitter. Caramel and earthy resinous hops. Medium light, soft carbonation. Pretty good for the style.

3.3 Bottled. Pours ruby colour with beige head that disappears quickly. Nicely balanced, bittersweet notes in aroma and taste: some caramel, biscuits but the hops are also present. The finish is bitter and relatively long lasting. Light bodied but has distinctive characteristics; decent bitter.

2.6 Draught at the Jerusalem Tavern. Decidedly average bitter which is a little surprising given I absolutely love St Peters. Re-rated. Same opinion. Sticky. Not refreshing. Ok.

3.1 Bottle. Amber in colour. Malty; biscuity malts, caramel. Fruity; mildly citrus grapefruit. Hoppy; grassy hops. Sweet malts balanced by fruity hops. Dry, slightly bitter, hoppy finish. Easy drinking. (2010-10)

3.3 Colore ambrato tendente al ramato, schiuma beige fine non molto persistente. Al naso si percepiscono note agrumate, speziate, di caramello e nocciola. Il corpo è leggero e la carbonazione è media. In bocca si peesenta con sapori lievi di malto, caramello, agrumi e spezie. Il.finale è amoro ed abbastanza persostente.

2.8 Bottle from Waitrose in multipack. Pours deep amber with fluffy head. Very bitter! Rather knocks out any subtleties in aroma or taste.
