McMullen Country Best Bitter

Brewed by McMullen
Style: Bitter
Hertford,, England

Cask, 4.3%. Clear chestnut colour. Citric fruit flavour. God, this is horribly dull.

[Cask at the Old Beams, Milton Keynes] Oh dear, oh dear, this was dismal. My overall impression was weak and watery - a little earthy hops, but predominantly wet dishcloths and old socks. Like a cask bitter from a macro brewer who can’t really be bothered to put any effort into it. Very surprised at the relatively high rating on here, so perhaps it was just me?

Cask. Low off-white fluffy and quickly disappearing head. Clear cobber body. Fruity honey aroma. Sweet pear honey flavor with little hops bitterness, low carbonation and a long sweet aftertaste.

Cask. Clear golden with medium white creamy head. Sweet fruity with floral hops and caramel notes. Creamy mouthfeel and bitter end.

Cask (Nagˇs Head, Covent Garden): Deep golden, long lasting, mid-sized head, juicy-fruity, malty nose with a dominant "english" hoppy touch, quite light bodied, solid dryish hoppy flavour, lingering, mainly dry bitter finish. O.K, not bad..........

Cask at The Old Beams, Shenley Lodge, Milton Keynes. Amber with a small white head. Sweet malty aroma. Taste is sweet and nutty with a little background sourness. Grassy mid bitter finish. Not bad.

Cask@Nags Head. Amber colour, mediumsized beige creamy head, lacing. Aroma is toffee, some sweet malts and quite pleasant fruity hops. Flavour is wooden, fruity and quite toffeeish.

Cask@NagsHead. Skunky, herbal and bit fishy aroma. Amber color, off-white head, good lace. Light fruity, light malty, hint of caramel, bitter, medium body.
