It’s not real

This is not a real ale in a bottle, it is not bottle-conditioned. It is quite refreshing to drink whilst watching the cricket, though.

Timothy Taylor’s Landlord Pale Ale, 4.1%

A darkish golden colour. This has a really hoppy nose, it smells really quite lively. The palate is refreshingly bitter with good malty flavours. It may not have the freshness and life of a bottle-conditioned beer, but it is a refreshing and pleasing drink.

I do like my beers to be quite bitter, and that certainly true of this. The draught version is really a significant step up in terms of liveliness and pleasure.
