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 50 cl. Pours a hazy golden with a small, rough white head. Very discreet aroma, slightly flowery. Medium-bodied, solid and pleasant malt base, somewhat fruity with a dryish but not bitter finish. A very typical and pleasant British session quaffer. 121016

Bottle, 3.8% at KØ16. Fruity aroma. Almost clear golden colour. Almost no head. The flavour is fruity and spicy. Sort of like a saaz thing. But a bit watery. No bad though.
