A rich aroma of hops and malt develops a full texture in the mouth. It has a long, deep, bitter-sweet finish. Without doubt an exceptional best bitter.

Ingredients: Maris Otter pale malt. Challenger and East Kent Goldings hops.

Bottle 50 cl. Courtesy of madmitch76. Pours a deep amber with a neat creamy head. Typical skewed British hops in the nose with a little roast. Medium body only, roasted malts, a little nuts and a vague fruity whiff. Finish is lightly bitter with a vague citrusy touch. 221109

50 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden orange with a nice off-white and creamy head. Aroma is vague butterish and caramelish/toffeeish malty. Light sweet malt base with a light herbal hoppy note from back of the tongue. Subdued fruity note. Ends lingering herbal hoppy and into a dry finish.

Dark brown coloured beer almost cola-like. A really tiny and quickly evaporting, almost soap-like head. The scent is filled with syrupy malts and some lactose. The taste is dissapointingly watery, some malts and butter, and some hints of grassy hops. Even the mouthfeel is rather thin...

Bottle. Amber beer with a weakly toffee aroma, and a weakly hopped and toffee flavour. Overall and average lightly hopped bitter.

Smells of honey and a little bit of malt, a nice and sweet aroma. Looks great, though the head could be larger, but that could just be the style. Not sure if I like the taste - it’s overpowered by a strong bitter roasted barley over the sweeter malts and that creates a kind of bitterness in an English bitter that I can’t say I’m entirely fond of. Nonetheless it’s a respectable bitter and still pretty darned good.
