biscuity malt.
Juicy malt and tart hops vie for attention in the mouth while the finish is tart and hoppy but well balanced by creamy malt. The bitterness rating is a substantial 36-38. The tangy fruit lingers on the back of the tongue until it develops a hint of orange liqueur.
Malt - Maris Otter pale malt and crystal malt
Hops - Challenger

Creamy white head on an unclear golden coloured body.
Traditional Bitter aroma.
Medium bodied, soft & foaming on the tongue with sharp dry back.
Malt, berry, zesty citrus & resinous tastes with a bitter hopped finish.
That's a great Bitter.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours a dark gold with small fluffy white head, nice retention and lacing. Aroma of grains, bread, citrus and spice. Taste is quite doughy and bready at first then citrus, grass and spice hop profile comes in finishing with some burnt toast and toffee notes. Nice balance between malts and hops here, fairly complex for a bitter. Light to medium bodied, slightly chewy. Excellent bitter.
