Lighter in colour than our previous bitters, but still characterful and complex, The Golden Bitter brings together two fine English hops; Ernest and Endeavour. Sweet malt and dried figs are accompanied by a touch of pine and spice on the nose.
The fruit follows through onto the palate, with the soft, biscuity malt base developing towards the finish. Rounded out with a gentle bitterness, The Golden Bitter is the perfect balance between traditional English brewing and contemporary hop development

Cask at CBC, Covent Garden on 23rd July 2021. Coppery amber with yellowy white foam and full lacing. Nutty malt aroma. Deliciously nutty in-mouth - peanut and hazelnut. Malty finish. Velvet smooth mouthfeel and light to medium body. Superb and well crafted.

44cl can from Abeervinum, Rimini, Italy. Pours amber, medium hazy, with fine foam. Aroma is malty. Body is average, like carbonation. Taste is medium bitter, with some sweetness too. Final is average. Overall, the beer felt rather good when colder, and worse once a little warmer.
