A well-balanced, genuine Yorkshire Bitter, with a full measure of maltiness and hoppy aroma – Boltmaker is first choice for the discerning drinker – on both sides of the Pennines.
Formerly known as Best Bitter, Boltmaker has won many awards over the years but most recently it was awarded the CAMRA Supreme Champion Beer of Britain in 2014 and Champion Beer of Britain – Bitter category in 2016.

On cask at the Haymarket. Appearance - golden with a proportionate head. Nose - lemon and orange. Light malt. Taste - more of the same. Palate - light bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - was expecting a Bitter. This is more in the golden ale or session ipa styles and nothing wrong with that.
