A wholesome best bitter designed to be true to this iconic beer style, with only a few respectful tweaks. Expect biscuit and caramel flavours from our malts, balanced by English hops with grassy, herbal and citrus notes and refreshing bitterness. Everything is lifted by just a touch of Cascade in the dry-hop.

Nitro can from Beer52's Siren 10th Anniversary box. Clear amber brown with big old off white head. Sweet bready and grassy aroma with some cookie dough and light spice. Nice smooth mouthfeel with a soft prickly carbonation. Taste of sweetish malts with toast and brioche and a semi-drying grassy-herbal-light citric hopping. Excellent for a bitter.

Can. A mild haze on this deep amber beer, decent bubbly cream colour head. Airy palate, semi dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Thinnish malts, a light creamy sweetness. Light and well integrated caramel and toffee. Ripe citrus. Marmalade. Light cooling pine. Light and fairy dry finish. Decent bitter, a good rounded flavour profile, perhaps a bit in the shadow of the very good Adnams rye beer that preceded this one.

(Cask at Southampton Arms, London, 16 Nov 2023) Pale amber colour with frothy, off-white head. Malty nose with notes of apricots, bread and earthy hops. Malty taste with caramel, apricots, bread, dried fruit and a balanced earthy bitterness in the finish. Light body, with a slight sweetness. Tasty and well balanced bitter. Nice one.

Pours a clear amber colour with a small frothy off-white head that settled to a film. The aroma is malty and fruity, biscuit, toffee, dried figs, and leafy hops. Moderately sweet and light bitter taste, biscuity malts, toffee, dried figs, earthy and leafy hop flavours with a mellow bittersweet finish.

Can from Beer 52 โ drank at home. Pours a golden amber with a small white head. Thereโs malts and biscuits in the aroma, plus some traces of berry fruits. Sweet and quite juicy in the mouth, but with some underlying bitterness. Flavour has floral hops, caramel, oranges and raisins plus traces of malts. Finish is quite bitter. This is reasonable, but seems to lack a certain something.
