Coniston Bluebird Bitter (Cask)

Brewed by Coniston
Style: Bitter
Coniston, England

1. Cask Stillage at the Community Centre, Frodsham 25/05/2001 Golden coloured and bitter on the palate. Very hoppy dry finish. 2. Cask Handpump at the Marble Beer House, Chorlton 03/07/2004 Golden coloured and hoppy with some citrus aroma. Smooth crisp malt finish.

Cask Conditioned, at The Marble Arch, Manchester.
Pale blonde, very pale wispy white head. A nice clean session bitter but completely dominated by the ’authentic black country’ scratchings. Fantastic pub...best in Manchester.

This stuff is soo drinkable, slightly sweet and a bit less bitter than bottled bluebird. Very good session with this one.

This was a beautifully balanced, flavoursome beer. I had the pleasure of sampling this from the brewery in Coniston and again in Ambleside. Hoppy and rich, yet easy to drink.

Brilliant bitter. Wateredge Hotel, Ambleside. Lovely peppery hop aroma. Slides down a treat. Lingering hop finish. Very refreshing and becoming ubiquitous in the Lake District.

Cask @ Mahar’s in Albany NY. Orange pour with a big fluffy head. Mild bitterness that finished clean and refreshing. Served perfectly by a gentleman with an Arrogant Bastard tatoo. This was my first trip to Mahar’s and I hope it won’t be my last.

Cask @ Old Toad. what a beer! a great english bitter. Zangy hop taste, with a wonderfully challenging bitter finish. I would drink this over most other beers on tap at my local english pub. Taste goes a little flat and dry, but that probably because im drinking it in america.

This helped me survive the week camping in Coniston while carring out my university dissertation on the coppermines up there. Wow, what a beer. Not liked it before when it has travelled a long way in cask - but at the home in consiton - its a difficult one to beat!
