English Tea Bitter. Combining the gentle smoky flavours of smoked malt, the bitterness of East Kent Goldings and Fuggles English hops and the aromatic notes of the finest Ceylon tea with bergamot oil from JOEs Tea Co.

Backlog May 2017. Unclear orange golden body under a big, creamy white head. Aroma is fruity with some smoke, tea and slightly spicy/herbal. Taste is malt, tea, bacon and hint of ginger. Medium body and same aftertaste. A bit unusually but the total impression is quite nice.

Bottle shared at the CBC Islington for the jk tasting. Many thanks. A hazed golden orange coloured pour with a small white head. Aroma is little perfume, lemon and orange rind, smoke, wheat. Flavour is composed of semi sweet malts, orange perfume, soapy, lime. Mellow smoke character. Not bad.

Bottled@SBWF2015. Hazy yellow colour with a small white head. Aroma is smoked wood, mild lactic notes as well as some bready and floral notes. Flavour is quite similar. Slightly on the messy side, but quite pleasant level of smoke.
