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.

Bottled, huge thanks to Vida for bringing it from Leicester! Shared with heavy and ogivlado. Poured a slightly pale golden body with a medium sized white head. Light malty nose, dry, dogfood. The taste is light, sweetish and mostly malty, not unpleasan’t, light dogfood again, slightly flowery, not much bitterness. Quite drinkable stuff, and better than the aroma let on.

Cask at the Victoria in Chester. Medium brown color. Fruity aroma, with good malt and hops. Good, fruity, caramelly malt. Very nice hops as well—a great balance. Slight citrus flavor as well. Very nice.

Cask at the Town Wall Tavern, Coventry on 12th February 2010. Copper with a white lacing head. Bitter hops and sweet caramel malt which dominates. A sweet aftertaste, and a smooth to watery texture.
