Tetley's was established in 1822, by an ambitious young man called Joshua Tetley. With his experience in the family malting business and the belief in its motto ‘Quality Pays’, Joshua Tetley took advantage of the lack of successful breweries in the North of England, compared to those in London. After nearly two centuries of perfecting the brewing process, the name Tetley’s is synonymous with a smooth, tasty pint created from a perfect combination of traditional and modern brewing techniques. Tetley's range of quality ales is brewed using only the finest quality ingredients to the highest standards to ensure the perfect pint every time,

Tetley's Original Bitter is an amber bitter ale, which has sweet toffee apple flavours balanced with distinctly bitter dry flavours and a lingering dry bitter finish.

The ABV has slightly reduced over time.

Can. Ambery brown colour with a creamy beige longlasting foamy head, which leaves some lace. Aroma is toffee, some wooden and mild toasted tones. Flavour is toffee, some wooden, mild earthy, grassy and floral tones. Easy going.

Can called 'Smooth Ale' @ 3.6%. Pours with nitro widget, once settled is amber with a solid chuck of creamy foam on top; looks decent. No big aroma but has sweetness, caramel, toasty malts; fine Taste is the same, pleasant enough, but quite watery in flavour. Little bitterness; could be better Once you can drink through the foam, the body is light but smooth with little carbonation; fine If I fancy a smooth session beer I will stick with Guinness Draught.
