A true award winning best bitter with universal appeal. Tiger Best Bitter is a classic example of getting the perfect balance between sweetness and bitterness. Crystal malt gives the beer its rounded toffee character. Tiger is the Official Beer of the Leicester Tigers.

Clear amber pint with a thick creamy head. Sweet malty flavour, very slight almost metallic hint in the aftertaste. Would get a touch sickly after too many but it’s quite nice.

Cask @ Crown and Anchor, Welby. Pours clear, copper coloured with a creamy white head. Little aroma, taste is malty with soft fruit and maybe a little lactic acid. Pleasant, slightly bitter finish

Part of my 2013 backlog. Deep golden amber colour with a white head. Aroma is caramel. Taste is sweet but a bit on the dull side.

Cask at the haymarket. Pours clear amber, thick white head. Aromas of oat biscuits and toffee. Taste is more of the same. Decent, if unexciting.

On cask at the Haymarket. Appearance - amber with a nicely proportioned head. Nose - gentle oatmeal and toffee. Taste - Hobnobs so oatmeal and gentle caramel holding it together. Palate - medium bodied with a creamy texture and a fairly good finish. Overall - it’s balanced but it’s uninspiring

Cask handpull at pub in Birmingham. Golden light amber colour with a creamy off white head. Aroma is light caramel, nutty. Quite sweet. Flavour is bland, nutty malt English yeast. Dull beer. Palate is creamy and nitrogenated. Boring.

Classic English bitter leaning towards English-style IPA in its dry-hopping. Thin creamy head as custom for an English ale, warm amber colour; apply aroma with caramel malts and delicate herbal aromatic hops; creamy, smooth, supple mouthfeel, dried fruits, caramel and some nutty malts, finishing in a mild but long, herbal hoppiness. Very drinkable.

Cask @ White Star, Stoke. Appearance is dark-ish gold, not quite copper. Fresh orange peel and freshly cut wood in the nose. Taste: yum. Deep, malty, herby, moderately sweet. A very decent ale when served well, but its relative ubiquity means it is often sampled in substandard condition. Have it in a proper real ale pub!
