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.

Cask@GBBF2007. Golden amber colour, not much head. Both the aroma and the flavour is sweet nectary fruits, some wood and a bit of vanilla. Quite smooth thing. The wooden notes get quite big in the aftertaste.

Pint on cask at The Milestone Beerhouse in Ipswich. Clear dark golden. Low level of white foam, but leaving nice "Kirchenfenster" on the glass. Thin to medium flavoured containing notes of malts, caramel and a slightly bitter end. Very smooth. Moderate mouthfeel (23.09.2006).

500ml bottle from Sainsbury’s. Attractive bronze colour with white head, malty aroma and taste with a bitter chemical aftertaste. Not my cup of tea, or pint of bitter for that matter. [1/3/3/1/5=1.3] Re-rate: 500ml bottle from Waitrose. I thought I should give this another go, but it’s not much better - looks fine, has a deep malty nose that’s not entirely to my liking and has an artificial finish. [4/3/4/2/10=2.3]

Bottle picked up at Sainsbury’s, Kidlington, Sunday 13th August. Very clear brown amber coloured beer, bit of malt on the nose, nice toffee chewy taste to it which was very likeable, good maltiness, not as bitter as I was expecting but very decent session beer.
