Say hello to Cornish Best in bottle! Cornish Best (3.4% ABV) is our well-balanced, easy-drinking ale. For its strength it drinks much fuller with plenty of rich malt, toffee and biscuit flavours complemented by a hint of bitterness. A moreish, sessionable ale that’s full of character.

[50cl bottle from Morrisons, Bracknell.] A bright copper coloured pour with a fast fading cream head and light carbonation; malty aroma; smooth malty caramel taste with a touch of spicy bitterness; and some chocolate in the finish. A simple malty bitter.
