Draught pint at Bukowskis, Inman Square. Pours a very slightly hazed amber-beige with a substantial, off-white, foamy, well-retained head. Aroma has soft, flowery, lightly soily/nutty hops, fresh and aromatic, with light dough and hints of caramel. Flavor shows the flowery hops off well, with a riveting mouthfeel, low, natural carbonation, tiny bubbles and a tingly texture. Malt is complex and not overdone, while the hops are distinctly to-style. This calls itself a Bitter and actually stays true to the name. Not an Americanized bitter by any means. Light dough and sugars, a bit of dry biscuits and touch of toasty caramel. Fresh, flowery, leafy hops are only lightly bitter through the middle. Another solid effort from these guys.
