Moorhouses Premier Bitter

Brewed by Moorhouses
Style: Bitter
Burnley, England

Re-rate, cask conditioned at Akkurat, Stockholm. Pale amber. Aroma of hay and toffee. Medium dry with soft rounded mouthfeel. Light bodied but firm and generously hoppy. The finish has some herbal spices that fades out into noteworthy, almost resiny bitterness. Very flavourful for a 3.7% beer.
Old rating, cask conditioned at Oliver Twist, Stockholm, June 2004.
Pale amber. Dry and light bodied. Salty hops and vague soapiness. Bitter finish. Unrefined and not in good condition. (5/4/4/2/9)

(Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm, 3 June) Colour is pale amber, with a frothy head, leaving some laces. Colour is fruity with notes of sewage, marmalade and bitter hops. Taste is fruity and hoppy, with a dry, long and bitter (slightly metallic) finish. Very tasty for such a low abv. Could easily drink this all night.

Cask Volenteer arms Dunbar ... again lost notes , but only 2 days ago so from memory. Amber , light fruity hop flavour, it most likly uses a hop in not fond of wish i knew which as has a hop flav ive had before and not been keen

Cask the Penny Black, Bicester, 15-04-06. Golden ale with citric and hoppy notes, and a wonderfullly citric taste that at once reminded me of pink grapefruit, good level of bitterness and hops and a jolly good beer I was most impressed.

Cask pint at Frisco Grille in Columbia. Cloudy and muddy amber colored body. Light, nutty, soggy hop nose, soggy but still fresh smelling, with some wheat notes and some oranges and other fruit. Fresh tasting, with dull pine and honey flavored hops, lightly grassy. The honey and orange note survices into a very long lasting finish. Overall it’s mild, quiet and fresh, easily drinkable, and it holds up better than it’s gravity would suggest. Very well made.

Cask, gravity, straight from the cask at local club. Excellent condition. Light golden with white head. This is a great session beer and very mooreish, a bit light in colour may put some off but not a citrus beer but a hoppy bitter. Ive had this before years ago in Lancashire and was not impressed but this was amuch better.
