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.

Cask at The Refectory, Milford, as Brunning & Price Trad Bitter. Sweet caramel malty aroma. Light chestnut. No head. Some initial light bitterness before a sour streak takes over. Underlying malty caramel sweetness that gains strength although the sourness remains throughout. Light-medium bodied. Soft mouthfeel. Flat carbonation. Slightly astringent finish. This is their Best? Typical bland bitter - these oldschool brewers really can't be arsed.

Cask at Crabby's Reel Ale at Crabby's, Bideford. It pours clear amber with a small white head. The aroma is earthy, brown bread, toffee, bit dusty, wood.and leather. The taste is dry, bitterish, toasty grain, wood, leather, twig, brown bread, grass and a touch of spice with a drying and woody finish. Light body and fine carbonation. This just comes across too light and lacking in body. A bit twiggy and wish washy.
