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?

Had a couple pints on cask at the Clapton Hart - Hackney. Pours clear gold with a large, foamy white head. Nice earthy and leafy hop character, mellow sweetness, lightly toasted grains. Light bodied with fine, massaging carbonation; good condition. Nicely balanced finish, tasty, easy-drinking.

(Cask at Earl of Essex, Islington, London, 28 May 2022) Amber colour with frothy, off-white head. Malty, hoppy nose with notes of caramel, apricots, toast and earthy hops. Malty taste with caramel, nuts, toast, apricots and a balanced earthy bitterness. Medium body, with a slight sweetness. Tasty and well balanced bitter. Nice one.

Cask at Kings Arms, 1/3 pint shared with Finn. Clear amber body, bubbly white head, spotty lacing. Aromas of herbal hops and grass, quite inviting. Well balanced taste of bread, earthy malts, and grassy hops. Dry bitter end. Easy to drink. Like it. (London 15.11.2021).

[33cl bottle from the Beer52 online shop.] A slightly hazy amber pour with a tight cream coloured head; aroma of biscuity malts and hedgerow hops; dry and sharply bitter with floral and herbal tastes and some caramel in the background; then a lignering peppery finish. Brings back memories of Kentish bitters in the 70's and 80's. Excellent.
