Arbor Huxell Best Bitter

Brewed by Arbor Brewing Company Pub & Eatery
Style: Bitter
Ann Arbor, Michigan USA

Tap. Light to medium amber color. Scant head. Nice citric hop aroma. Light to medium bodied. Well balanced. Fairly sweet caramel malt initially then a solid citrus finish from the hops. Nice.

Pours a cloudy blonde color with a ring of white lace. Good aroma of citrusy hops. Strong presence of citrusy hops in the flavor along with a bitter finish. The body is light and oily and the carbonation is gentle.

Brewpub: Golden somewhat hazy, small white head that dissapeared rather quickly. Nose is somewhat complex with grapefruit, grainy, floral, citruss. Moutfeel is medium to light, plenty of hops, nicely pulled together.

Slight hop nose. Low head retention. This lightly cloudy brew is smooth and mild and makes for a great sipping beer. The hops have a good supporting note and do not overpower the malt. The beer has a great mouth feel and has a slight hazlenut flavor.

Sampled on draught @ Arbor Brewing Company in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Cloudy pale. Heavily hoppy aroma giving very minty scents ruby red grapefruit and light herbs. Bready, lighty toasty malt that is pretty profound for its size with the same minty hops that were present in the nose. Another really great beer from Arbor.

Draft at Arbor Brewing. Hazy light amber with a medium white head that diminshed slowly. Hoppy aroma. Medium to light body. Good flavor with a long bitter finish. Above average bitter.

Tap at the brewpub - clear golden beer - a very authentic bitter, with the hard water mineral character to make you feel like your all the way across the pond - nice and dry, with moderate bitterness that becomes more apparent as it warms - light bread and dough - nice session beer.

Grapefruit-orange hop nose. Hazy yellow gold with low white head that diminishes to lasting cover and coats the glass. Assertive grapefruit hop flavour is tart with low underlying dry malt and grainy character. Bitterness lasts in the aftertaste. Soapy, floral and citrus hops are evident throughout. Medium-light body with moderate carbonation. A very hop forward American interpretation of the style that could perhaps use a touch more malt character. Sampled on tap at the brewpub.
