On tap at the brewpub. I ordered the English Bitter and this is what she brought. Jewel like deep ruby color with a foamy off-white head that coated the glass with sheets of lace. Sweet grain nose. Sweet beer with a ripe pit fruitiness. Burnt grains with a faint grassy hop finish. This did not seem either English or Bitter to me.

draft - Light, hoppy aroma, thin head. It’s smooth and has some light hoppy bitterness, but I really expected more. The body was too thin and the taste too watery. It’s okay, but I know a bitter can be better.

This draft brew from the brewery in my home town poured a small sized head of foamy finely sized white colored bubbles that left behind a transparent very soft carbonated weak yellow orange colored body and a good lacing. The aroma had a mild bitter malt hop note to it. The mouth feel was mildly tingly at the start and faded in the finish. The flavor was mild with a mild bitter note that was weak and thin. I think it was not 4.8% ABV, but thats what the brewer said it was. It seemed more like 3% to me. It was though true to the English style.

Draft at MABC. Small wihite smooth head that fully diminished, fine sized bubbles, sparse lacing, carbonated, transparent, and a yellow hue. Malty, hoppy, sweet, and some caramel aroma. Ditto for the flavor. Very nice tasting brew. Smooth palate. Light body.
