The Neanderthal remembers when Best Bitter was the best. This beer is our recollection of that, full of roast and caramel malt flavours and traditional Kent hops. A better Best Bitter.

[Cask (gravity pour) at the Basingstoke Beer Festival 2024] A mid chestnut coloured pour; malty aroma; caramel malt taste; with a fresh Kentish hop bitterness and a touch of peppery spice. A good, old-fashioned, bitter.

Fra cask på The Lyric, med Egil: klar kastanjebrun med fint skum som varer helt ned. Maltdrevet aroma og smak med mørke karameller, urter, barskog og engelsk appelsinmarmelade. So smooth.
