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.

Bottle. Pours a clear, dark golden beer with a decent beige head. Some lacings too. Roasted, fruity nose with some caramel sweetness. Full-bodied, with flavors of roasted malt and some caramel sweetness. Pleasant hops giving fruity flavors and a little bitterness. Sweet, roasted finish with some bitterness. As it warms up, it gets some strange malty flavors, so it is best enjoyed quite cold. (081018)

Cask, Philarmonic, Liverpool. A beautiful pub....the same can’t be said of this poor effort though. Muddy looking appearance. Insipid, bland and watery. Ill defined malt and not much else happening here. Couldn’t finish, just really boring.

(Cask at Wenlock Arms, London, 8 Aug 2008) Dark amber colour with brief, off-white head. Malty, nutty nose with notes of dark fruit and roasted nuts. Malty, nutty taste with dried fruit and a fairly bittersweet finish. Decent bitter, but lacking something extra.

The Nightingale, Langford Village, Bicester, Oxon, 29-07-08 Poured mid amber with thin white head. Unfortunately I was served this in a Fosters glass which sort of ruined it for me, sad to say the lack of interest in what to serve this in pretty much summmed up what the beer was like. Dull uninteresting beer, that had some caramel on the nose but if truth be told may have also been getting a little tired, some sweetness and fruits attempt to liven things up but I’ve had this before and its been better so will seek this out again in the near future.
