Commercial Description:
Cask; Regular.
A 100% malt mash giving a full flavour and a mid-brown colour. North Down hops produce a bitterness which is refreshing and morish. An outstanding session bitter. Hambleton Bitter won Champion Beer at the 1992 Burton on Trent Festival and Runner-up at the 1993 Doncaster Beer-Ex.

From cask at Charlies, handwritten chalk board tap sign which said Hambleton Best Bitter, 3.6%. Pours cloudy orange with a lasting off-white head. Aroma is malt driven and light hoppy. Flavour holds a mild bitternes to a dry malt base. Ends slight breadish.

Cask conditioned at Charlies. Dark golden coloured. Nice herbal hop aroma with notes of exotic fruits and pine. The same pleasant notes in the flavour. The finish is dry and bitter. Very refreshing and tasty.

Cask conditioned - handpump - Wootton WMC. A yellow gold coloured beer with a whitish head and lacing. A very dry bitter both in taste and aroma. A little yeasty in some ways and thena bitter finish comes in. Sessionably low in ABV but not sure you could take too much of the dryness.

Cask gravity at Kent BF 07. Gold, bubbly white head. Citrusy bitter. OK, bit of yeast, some apple and lemon. OK, bit empty up front. Decent raspberry fruit finish. Fine.

Aroma seems to have minimal hops, slightly sweet biscuity malts. Taste is also sweeter than i wanted, not bitter enough basicly.
