The West Country's favourite beer derives from pure Mendip Spring Water…notably bitter, clean tasting, refreshingly dry and distinctive. Made with 100% best Maris Otter malt (the Rolls Royce of malts), together with a blend of (never divulged) English hop varieties…Butcombe Bitter is a moreish Mendip masterpiece!

Bottled. A golden beer with a beige head. The aroma has notes of malt and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, and metal, leading to a dry finish.

Three pints in the Plough Inn in Wrington less than a mile from where this is brewed. This is a classic English bitter, dark with toasted malt, bitter hops, smooth mouthfeel and low abv. It is a perfect session beer and worked alongside the rather large lunch.

4.5% alk. E više nemrem smislit ove Lidlove pive... :-/ Sad kako pijem ove zadnje koje su mi ostale, i da su dobre nebi mi bile dobre jer su me psihički već dotukli ti Lidlovi Bitteri.

500ml bottle: BBD 2nd Sep 2018. Poured into an 'Old Speckled Hen' badged UK pint glass, vase shaped. Nice amber body, clean and clear, wispy white head. Nose has a malty dominance, as does the initial taste: toffee and caramel too the fore. The hops kick in late to balance the finish nicely, giving a dry a slightly bitter aftertaste.

Thanks Marko for buying and bringing this bottle! Dark golden, moderate off-white head. Toasty, light metallic, very low bitterness. Light dry and bitter. Kinda smooth, refreshing, medium body, moderate to high carbonation. Good.

Kicsi, gyorsan eltűnő hab vörösréz szín. Illata enyhén karamelles, fűszeres. Kissé fanyar, karamelles, fűszeres ízvilág. Könnyed, nem vizes, enyhén szénsavas, enyhén keserű. Kellemes ivósör.
