A traditional amber session bitter. Renamed and redesigned Best Bitter. Superbly balanced with a floral hop aroma from plenty of traditional English Goldings and Fuggles hops.

Bottle found on Hadrian's wall path. Pours with murky brown and modest foam. Smells of nice honey and biscuit malt. Taste is good sweet cracker, biscuit, honey. Finishes mostly crisp. Nice, easy and refreshing.

Cask pumpad på biskopen Gustav . Väldigt klassisk bitter rakt igenom . Lite pilsnerton tyvär för få bätte betyg
