A true award winning best bitter with universal appeal. Tiger Best Bitter is a classic example of getting the perfect balance between sweetness and bitterness. Crystal malt gives the beer its rounded toffee character. Tiger is the Official Beer of the Leicester Tigers.

4.5%, 500ml Brown bottle, best before May 2010, drank early April 2010. Poured into a Batemans badged pint sleeve. Deep amber/auburn coloured body, clear. The head was pure white and held some good lacing as the beer sank. Malted biscuits, hints of toffee and caramel in the smell, no hop content aroma wise. Fairly sweet tasting, as the smell suggested, the maltiness winning out over anything else. A hop bitterness does rear its head as the mouth dries. There is a malty richness in the body, and it is easy to drink, but something is lacking somewhere.

bottle from Voldby Købmandsgaard clear brown, large smooth offwhite to light brown head. malty, caramelly, nutty, honey-like and slightly flowery aroma.some bitter notes, but the malt is dominating. nice. flavor is caramelly, malty, bitter balance, but malts are the dominant taste. A little on the sweet side, but still with the dryness and good crisp bitterness from a bitter. very smooth palate. nice indeed.

21/01 0.5 l bottle courtesy of Marko, thanks for sharing! It poured amber body with small, slightly off white head. Caramel and toast aroma. Very slightly bitter flavor, watery and soon becomes boring. A bit of caramel extends all the way to its finish, but it’s not long anyway. Thin in body, completely watery. An ordinary macro bitter, weak, boring, but refreshing in some situations I guess.

Bottled 500ml. -Courtesy of Marko, shared with heavy and him.
Nice pale amber coloured, small white head, weak malty nose. Sweet malty, caramel and some hops but very light taste overall. Bitterish finish. Drinkable but expected better.

Bottled, huge thanks to Vida for bringing it from Leicester! Shared with heavy and ogivlado. Poured a slightly pale golden body with a medium sized white head. Light malty nose, dry, dogfood. The taste is light, sweetish and mostly malty, not unpleasan’t, light dogfood again, slightly flowery, not much bitterness. Quite drinkable stuff, and better than the aroma let on.
