Chestnut, with a good head as poured. Slight nutty malt aroma. Similar taste and after. Decent Bitter, but a bit vague. (Might’ve been better earlier in session? Or at least more distinct.)

George Shaw & Co. Folly - Dunham Massey Brewing Co.
Rated on 2025-05-01 by BeerDorkNik at Bent's Warrington
Quality: 60, Enjoyability: 60, Overall: 60
Deep chestnut, with a slightly active open. Extremely large off white head on pour, with good retention and loose lacing. Nutty sweet aroma, bit dry under. Similar taste and after. Bit thick, tiny sharp effervescence. Doesn’t really give a style, so I has to take a guess – it’s a decent, straight down the middle Bitter.
Southwold Bitter (4.1%) - Adnam's
Rated on 2025-03-20 by BeerDorkNik at Home Bargains
Quality: 54.5, Enjoyability: 53, Overall: 53.75
Amber. Large off white head on pour, with very good retention and good lacing. Vaguely floral tea aroma, developing a bit cocoa under. Tannic fruitcake taste and after, bit wet. Disappointingly wet, in fact. Fizzy on the tongue effervescence.

1974 The Lost Weekend - Strawberry Fields Brewery
Rated on 2024-02-29 by BeerDorkNik at Black Cat Taproom
Quality: 49, Enjoyability: 42, Overall: 45.5
Amber. Good, off-white head as poured, with good retention and OK lacing. Bit cocoa, dried fruit, malt aroma. Weakly similar taste, drier more cocoa after. Brewed to celebrate 40 years of CAMRA, an I think it represents the painfully generical approach to 'Real Ale' that made me quit... Neil liked it, though.

Quality: 55, Enjoyability: 52.5, Overall: 53.75
Peach gold. OK head as poured, with good retention and OK lacing. Basic Bitter. Still not sure about brewr (not on pump), but it seems likea Black Sheep house. Also, different ABV than I found online, don't know if that means it's a different beer or just a slightly differnt ABV...
Old Forge - Half Moon Brewery
Rated on 2023-09-02 by BeerDorkNik at Walmgate Alehouse, York
Quality: 46, Enjoyability: 50.5, Overall: 48.25
Rich gold. Good head as poured, with very good retention and lacing. Smells like a light Bitter, with similar taste and after.

Butterley - Ossett
Rated on 2022-09-13 by BeerDorkNik at The Hop, York
Quality: 46, Enjoyability: 50.5, Overall: 48.25
Amber. Good head as poured, with good retention and solid lacing. Basic light Bitter, bit syrup-malt in after. Been wanting to get in here for a while now, finally made it. Nice place, though near closing. OK beer selection, food looks OK and dog friendly.
Guy Fawkes Bitter - Unknown
Rated on 2022-09-12 by BeerDorkNik at Guy Fawkes Inn, York
Quality: 49, Enjoyability: 47, Overall: 48
Amber, with a good head as poured. Basic Bitter - probably a chain house ale? Couldn't see a brewery on the pump, or get close enough to take a picture, and the only one online is FarceBok so I can't view full size…
Battle Axe - Rudgate
Rated on 2022-09-12 by BeerDorkNik at Golden Slipper, York
Quality: 53, Enjoyability: 51, Overall: 52
Amber, with a large creamy head as poured. Sweet, nutty, bit cocoa. Better than a basic Bitter, but not really a 'Best'. Mum was obsessed with the idea we should come here, so I decided to pop in. OK, but empty. Think the appeal was it does food and is dog friendly.
Bitter - Snowdon Craft
Rated on 2022-07-04 by BeerDorkNik at The Snowdon, Llandudno
Quality: 55, Enjoyability: 53, Overall: 54
Amber, with a good head on pour. (Near end of barrel, so head may've been more pronounced than usual.) Malty brown aroma. Basic Bitter. Missed out on trying some other Snowdon Craft beers, and I'm a bit disappointed this is the only one I managed to find...
Jeffrey Hudson Bitter (3.8%) - Oakham Ales
Rated on 2022-07-04 by BeerDorkNik at Palladium (JDW), Llandudno
Quality: 49.5, Enjoyability: 46, Overall: 47.75
Pale gold, good creamy head as poured. Weak lemon hop drink. I'll be honest, I was getting a bit desperate at this point, but went back to bed when I realised what I'd been reduced to…
Hope & Glory - Rooster's
Rated on 2022-06-01 by BeerDorkNik at Childwall Fiveways
Quality: 53, Enjoyability: 56, Overall: 54.5
Hazy gold. Good creamy head as poured, very good retention and solid lacing. Juicy hop aroma. Similar taste and after. Light, not what I'd expect from a Bitter.

Quality: 45, Enjoyability: 38, Overall: 41.5

Usually an OK-but-not-great beer - can be very nice at the right time, can be a bit bland - but this pint was just wrong. Poorly kept? Pub is a bit of a hole in general…
