Malty and fruity aroma with a satisfying flavour and bitter finish, Cambridge Bitter is the main brand beer at an ABV of 3.8%.
A mild brown bitter with a good balance of malt and hop character give a pleasing session drink. The finest pale ale malt (made from Maris Otter barley) is blended with torrified wheat, invert sugar and a small amount of roast barley, to ensure consistent colour.
Hops used are English Fuggles and challenger, a blend that gives a full hop character to the beer.

Foamy off white head on a pale copper coloured body. Malt & hops aroma - old school. Medium bodied, smooth with a lively back. Caramel, biscuit, malt & tea tastes with lightly hopped bitter finish. Like a 1970s Bitter - Nice one.

Bottle online from Beers Of Europe. Pours a clear golden copper colour with a medium sized throthy off white head. Aromas of toffee, caramel, biscuits and floral. Taste has more toffee and caramel, bread, biscuits and a touch more floral. Malty with light earthy hops on the finish. Medium body, fairly low carbonation and smooth slightly oily mouthfeel. Good flavour for a low abv beer.

Fra cask på Mossy Well: klar kastanjebrun med fint skum som varer. Brødskorper, litt urter og ikke så mye mer. Sangerinnemig, men et nytt bryggeri osv...

Cask at Picture House, Stafford. Pours a bright “bitter brown” with minimal off-white head. The aroma is basically just some malts. In the mouth the main sensation is how watery it is. There are sweet malts with some bitterness lurking beneath. After a while some berry fruits and apples start to come through. Just a hint of citrus too. Finish is sweet as well. This is a bog standard bitter – forgettable.
