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.

500 ml bottle, courtesy of Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV of the bottled version is 4.5%. Amber to orange coloured beer, large and lasting off-white head with an orangey hue. Moderate fruity aroma with raisiny notes. The flavour is moderately fruity and malty, hints of caramel and toffee, with spicy hops. Definitely drinkable, but does not call out the tiger in me.

(Bottle 50 cl) Clear, amber golden with an off-white head. Slightly unclean caramel aroma. Light-bodied with notes of nuts and caramel. The finish is dry. Not overly convincing. 130507

500ml bottle from Sainsbury’s. Attractive bronze colour with white head, malty aroma and taste with a bitter chemical aftertaste. Not my cup of tea, or pint of bitter for that matter. [1/3/3/1/5=1.3] Re-rate: 500ml bottle from Waitrose. I thought I should give this another go, but it’s not much better - looks fine, has a deep malty nose that’s not entirely to my liking and has an artificial finish. [4/3/4/2/10=2.3]

Bottle picked up at Sainsbury’s, Kidlington, Sunday 13th August. Very clear brown amber coloured beer, bit of malt on the nose, nice toffee chewy taste to it which was very likeable, good maltiness, not as bitter as I was expecting but very decent session beer.

500ml bottle from Sainsbury. Chestnut colour with thin beige head. Standard English bitter. Some yeast, caramel and hop on the aroma. Some biscuity malt and some apple flavours. Even some nice darkish malts as well along the way. Perfectly acceptable.

Amber color, nice head. Aroma of sweet caramel and vanilla, of cake. The body is not very strong, with high caramel character, some brown sugar, light hoppiness and honey, correctly bitter.

Clear orange color, short creamy off-white head. Quite typical bitter features. Aroma of some caramel malts and some english hops. Dominant though soft bitter taste and palate.

Amber; light, vaguely caramelly, touch of wood. It seems the most popular English ales are always the blandish, malt-accented ones. To each his own I guess.
