A traditional Kentish Best bitter. The aroma is toffee malt and fresh green hops, the flavour is malt, hops and red berries with a full body and lingering bitter finish.

cask@Hare and Billet, Blackheath, SE London - Amber in colour, with a small/medium off white/beige head. Caramel malt with both nutty and dark fruit spicy, and toffee nuances. Have had this many times but first time rating this. Overall a very solid enjoyable bitter (d15)

Cask @ Brussels British Embassy Jubilee garden party. Thanks Cécile. Cuivrée ambrée, col crémeux blanc. Arôme de malt pâle très typique des ales anglaises laissant un fin bouquet de grains. En bouche, malt léger sur faible pétillant, note entre malt amer/cara, le tout est sec finissant sur une amertume persistante.

(Cask at Oliver Twist, Stockholm, 6 May 2011) Reddish amber colour with foamy, beige head. Malty, fruity nose with notes of caramel, orange, dried apricots and slightly dusty hops. Malty, fruity taste with dried fruit, hints of caramel, dried apricots and dusty hops in the finish. Rather light body, fairly sweet. Decent, but rather middle-of-the-roadish.

Cask at OT in Stockholm, on May 7, 2011Clear brown color, dense tan head, just beautiful. Taste starts off malty almost acidic, though quickly turns very bitter and dry. Smooth aftertaste first, then dry harsh bitter mouthfeel. Smooth fruity scent. Fairly high dry bitterness.For me needs to be more malty and balanced and less dry and bitter..
