| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Aug 17, 2008 Sampled at the Flour City Brewers’ Fest 2008. McBane’s Best Bitter is a cloudy straw colored beer with no visible carbonation and a white film for a head. The aroma is earthy, fruity and grassy-- all hops (Goldings, I think). It is light bodied and very smooth. The flavor is all hops. It’s lightly bitter and fresh tasting. There really isn’t any aftertaste. Pretty nice! Ron (1038), Rochester, New York, USA

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 20, 2007 (draft @ The Tap & Mallet - Rochester, NY) Hazy copper color with a puffy white head. Aroma is a nice mixture of hops and some sweet malts. Very well balanced. Flavor begins with a smooth malt flavor followed by a very prominent and floral hop middle and a bitter and lingering finish. Can easily drink a few of these. Good beer.
