Our salute to tradition British pub ale. This Best Bitter is brewed with expensive British Maris Otter malt with a hint of both crystal and chocolate malts and features Fuggle hops. Medium bodied with a crisp hoppy finish. A style of beer that is rarely brewed in the US.

Fat på Chapterhouse. Åh här har vi en mörk mychet mörkbrun rätt grumlig vätska. Doftar fint av lite mörkare malt. Klunkar och känner direkt den har väldigt lite kolsyra som sig ska. Mjuk fin lätt brödig och lätt rostad maltkaraktär. Trevlig

Sample at the new tap room. Clear copper color with a medium thin off-white head that recedes steadily to a dense film. Stringy lace. Roast malt, hops and caramel in the nose. Light-bodied with flavors of toasted malt, caramel and mild earthy hop. The finish is sweet with a malty aftertaste. Decent overall.

Draft at the brewery during RBWG 2014 - Asheville. Pours clear gold with a creamy, white head. OK stuff, with nice bready malts, pleasant orange notes, low bitterness. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Good balance to finish, some more bready malts. Nice, simple and drinkable.

Keg at the brewpub, 17/02/15. Clear copper with a moderate off white head. Nose is caramel, light apple, biscuit. Taste comprises biscuit malt, light spice, toffee. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with light bitterings. Adequate for style but no more so than that @whelmed.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a clear gold with a white head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Aroma has a bit of grass with crisp grain and bread backing. Flavor is similar with a bit of grassy bite and grain for a smooth backbone.
