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 shared with JMD at HNB 10.03.18. Excellent aroma and taste of English hops, flowers, succade, marmalade, fruits and pale malt. Very quaffable. The fine taste of this ale is lingering on for long. Soft bitterness.

0,5 flaske fra Gulating Stavanger, delt med skibsrederen etter endt tapping av vår Admiral ipa: klar kobbergylden med flott skum som varer. Deilig, fruktig aroma og smak med mye glede i bare 3,8% - urter, jordaktige toner, hint av jordbær og sommerblomster. Lekker, elegant bitterhet og lang ettersmak. En superb pøseøl.

500ml bottle. Amber colour with a white foam head. Biscuity malt nose. Favour of malt, toffee, some biscuit, and fruity with tangy bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry bitter finish. OK.
