Late Hopped Traditional Bitter. This bottle conditioned ale portrays all that is best about the traditional British bitter - hoppy bitterness on the palate and the nose is married with the full body of the beer. If Maris Otter malt is the body of our beer then hops are its spirit. Each year we choose our hops not just by farm but by individual garden and time of harvest. Hop variety Challenger is used as unprocessed whole leaf hops. Extravagant, perhaps, but delicious.

Tap at FOB, Rimini, Italy. Pours Light amber, fairly transparent, with moderate, very fine white foam. Aroma is earthy, a little soapy and malty, toffee. Body and carbonation are average. Taste is well balanced, with both medium sweetness and bitterness. Final is dry. Overall, easy to drink and quite enjoyable.

Pour is a cloudy tan with a large white head. Aroma is some green hop and a biscuit malt. All are very mellow. Flavor is a pretty light maris otter grain with some basement must. I agree with some of the raters on here that this is a bit watery but I'm sure having this beer fresh on cask in some ancient British Inn would change the rating completely.
