Bitter - Ordinary / Best Bitter Regular Out of Production

Score

6.07

ABV: 4.2%

IBU: -

Ticks: 10

A ruby red bitter, made with special coloured malts. A very rich malt character, which gives an impression of a stronger beer than its 4.2% ABV. Made with an American hop variety, the beer is an interesting departure from the norm, demonstrating a wide spectrum of unusual floral flavour notes which appeal to the ale drinker who is looking for something a little more cerebral than the usual session strength style beers. The hop is out there somewhere . . . Originally brewed as a one off, demand has led to permanent production.

Cask-conditioned at the JDW on Whitehall, 28/5/2013. Attractive, deep copper with a tight, off white head. Toffee, with some red fruits and then not much else until a metallic, bitter finish. Not for me.

Cask at the Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell. Hazy reddish brown with a dense cream head; malty aroma; smooth, fruity and slightly spicy with a gentle bitter finish. Rather plain and ordinary.

Cask at EBF. Frothy white good mostly lasting head. Moderate bitter and light malty aroma. Light bitter flavor. Oily palate. Messy and weird brew.

From cask. Pours clear and golden orange with a fully gone head. Malty and slight fruity hops aroma. Flavour is smooth roasted malt towards breadish. Light fruity hops note swept through this into a nice lingering malty finish.
