Tap at Teramachi. Rather dirty brown color with lace. Nose is caramel malt, spicy hop, bread. Bready, toasty flavor, light caramel, bit of spicy hops. Slightly bitter finish. Almost flat, as though they are trying to mimic a hand pump, but it doesn't really work. OK but not really a finished product.

I’ve not had a best bitter in awhile… Bighand Bros Andalusite Best Bitter 4.2% 30 IBU Nice matte gold, totally still with no foam. Mild biscuity aroma, clean medium body with scratchy carbonation. The taste is biscuit and mild caramel toffee. This is really crisp and enjoyable but has me wishing it was I cask which would certainly elevate it into something truly special and authentic.
