Handwritten notes: Light, with a subtle, almost non-existent carbonation. I like the clear instructions on the label, too. They forgot "...digest contents of can and convert to urine. Expel urine in lavatory or water closet." Ha... Brits are funny. It may be my mind playing tricks on me, but this beer tastes a bit like iced tea. There is a subdued sugar or caramel taste. This beer would probably be better, if not perfect, as a draught. Also, what's the deal with Brits adding extraneous letters to words? Draught? I am almost on the side of the Yanks in that "color" does not need to be spelled "colour". But, the rules are what they are, all I know is that I'm above the 49th parallel so this beer has a good flavour.
