Five Points Best is a single-hopped Best Bitter, brewed with Fuggles hops from Hukins Hops. Refreshing and smooth, Best has notes of caramel and biscuit, and a lovely grassy, herbal freshness that makes you want to reach for another one.
Five Points Best celebrates both the history of British brewing and the modern craft beer movement. It showcases the Five Points take on beer: influenced by the past but brewed very much for the present. Because, we reckon, why should modern beer always mean new beer styles?

Bottle at home. Long weekend of middle daughter's birthday madness, but we all had a great time. Enjoyed this quietly on the sofa as a bit of me time. This is a textbook bitter, with exceptional balance of malt and hops at a great low abv. I really like this.

500ml bottle from Sainsburys in North Watford, Herts. An amber coloured pour with a medium white head on top. Biscuity malt, caramel, dark fruit taste and aroma. Quite a drinkable English bitter, went down rather well mowing the lawn in spring like weather.

Cask gravity at Tonbridge Rugby Club Winter Festival 2024. Pale brown colour thin white head. I rather liked this. Good showing of Fuggles hop. Good hedgerow fruit and grapefruit. Decent malt to carry it all. Decent condition a classic English bitter.

Bottle from Sainsburys. Pours slightly hazy amber with a medium sized fluffy white head. Aroma is toasty bread with some caramel, biscuits and hints of citrus. Taste is bready and biscuity with more caramel, some peppery spice and a grapefruit pith bitterness on the dry finish. Thinnish body, light fizzy carbonation and slightly oily mouthfeel. Decent.

Bottled. Amber colour, mediumsized foamy white head, which leaves some lace. Aroma is floral, some biscuity and caramelly tones with some fruits as well. Flavour is caramel, some fruits, mild biscuity tones with some nutty and some floral tones too. Smooth and easy going.

330ml bottle as a gift - clear golden to copper body with a thin layer of foam. Nose is malty with a hint of grassy hop. Slightly sharp hoppy bitterness at the start with a little metallic tang.
