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.

Cask @ Railway Inn, Cononley. Nice bitter malty aroma, but more of a standard than best bitter. Has a golden glow.

As Wag Tail @ Three Judges, Glasgow. Golden-amber. Malty-toasty aroma. Fairly toasty character with a slightly sweet finish, maybe with a bit of juiciness.
