A 100% malt mash giving a full flavour and a mid-brown colour. North Down hops produce a bitterness which is refreshing and morish. An outstanding session bitter. Hambleton Bitter won Champion Beer at the 1992 Burton on Trent Festival and Runner-up at the 1993 Doncaster Beer-Ex.

Cask @ Charlies Bar, Copenhagen. Pours a slightly hazy golden color with a small white head. Hasa fruity malty and slightly hoppy aroma. Fruity malty flavor with some hints of hops and citrus. Fruity finish with some malty hints.

From cask at Charlies, handwritten chalk board tap sign which said Hambleton Best Bitter, 3.6%. Pours cloudy orange with a lasting off-white head. Aroma is malt driven and light hoppy. Flavour holds a mild bitternes to a dry malt base. Ends slight breadish.

Cask gravity at Kent BF 07. Gold, bubbly white head. Citrusy bitter. OK, bit of yeast, some apple and lemon. OK, bit empty up front. Decent raspberry fruit finish. Fine.

[Cask at GBBF 2005] A pale orange beer with a thin white head. The aroma is slightly buttery combined with some notes of hops. The flavor is sweet malty and hoppy, but also with some slight notes of butter, leading to s dry bitter end.
