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.

Bottle, many thanks dantomlinson! Clear red-orange color with white head. Aroma is red fruits, some fudge, slightly buttery, nice classic Ale flavour, a bit more hopped though. Taste is toffee malts, herbal-earthy, grassy, quite a bitter finish. Oily mouthfeel with natural carbonation.
