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.

500ml bottle. Clear coppery orange amber colour, foam off-white head and aroma of malt, floral fruity. Taste is sweet rich malty, with caramel notes and earthy hop bitterness. Medium bodied, medium carbonation, dry finish, some residual sweetness. OK bitter.

Hand-pulled pint at The Shakespeare, Coalport on the river Severn on 24 Aug 2013. Good amber/auburn coloured body, clear. The head white and full, showed some good lacing. Malted biscuity aroma, hints of toffee and caramel if you sniff long and hard enough, no hop content nose wise. Semi-sweet taste, as the smell suggested, the maltiness winning out over anything else. A hop bitterness does appear as the mouth dries. I think I enjoyed the slightly stronger bottled version.

Another ducking boring Engkiah Alw. How many do I have to drink at GBBF? It’s a mystery to me.

Cask at the Seven Stars, Rugby, 06/03/13. Clear dark amber with a decent sized off white head that retains well. Nose is caramel malt, light spice, apples, biscuit. Taste follows - fruits, suggestion of hops, caramel. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, some bitterness in the finish. Average bitter - its appearance and mouthfeel drag it up a few notches!

Dark golden with no head. It’s not a million miles away from the Beacon brand, although this has less character to it. Relatively smooth with a sweet aroma and taste.

Draught at John Scott’s Pub, Göteborg. On September 21, 2012.Sold as "Everards English Ale" (Best Bitter), I didn’t see an ABV anywhere.Seen others rate that name of beer from the same pub as me under this ratebeer entry, so here goes.Clear copper to light brown color; nice, thick, dense, lasting, off-white head. Malty, sweet, some light caramel, hints of roasted malt taste. Medium mouthfeel, medium to medium high dry herbal bitterness. Malty, sweet, fruity scent.
