Bright amber. Large off white head on pour, dispersing, ¾ halo and little surface retention, with little loose lacing. Strong initial malty Bitter aroma, more floral hop in close. Slightly pot purri light Bitter taste, with a coppery similar after and lasting pepper. Some peppery effervescence.

Amber. OK head on pour with little retention but OK lacing. Bad, bit urinal, hop aroma. Softer but similar taste and after, just a dull hop beer.

Amber. OK off-white head as poured, with good retention and solid lacing. Faint tannin hop aroma. Light, slightly citrus, Bitter. Despite being an Amber Ale, called 'Bitter'. Not, oddly, the same as Mauldon's Broomstick Bitter which I've already had - same ABV, too.

Light amber. Some head as poured, little to no retention or lacing. Initial harsh hop aroma, syrup malt under. Astringent hop tea, copper hop after. Originally brewed 'exclusively' for Tesco (at least, same brewer, style, description, and ABV…)

Deep amber. OK off-white head, with good retention and OK lacing. Malty and refreshing. To be honest, the B&K beers are probably not that good - not bad, by any stretch, but they're not trying to experiment. I really like the place, though - good food, and very dog friendly.

Amber. Good head as poured, solid retention and solid tight lacing. Basic Bitter, and sadly I'd had it before. Lost the screw out of my glasses and had to beg a paperclip from the barstaff to keep them together. May have been a message to skip the rest of the night. (Luckily, Specsavers was open the next day and fixed them for me.)

Amber. Littler head as poured (might've been barmaid over filling), good retention, solid lacing. Meh
