Bitter in style, not in flavour! David’s Not So Bitter is not so dark, not so strong, and not so bitter – it’s just right! This is a great all-rounder beer with a flavour appealing to those wanting a smooth beer that simply tastes great and isn’t too bitter.
This simple, well balanced ruby ale, with caramel, biscuity flavours dominating has yet to meet a dish it doesn’t go well with.
Malts: Maris otter, Wheat, Crystal.
Hops: Northern Brewer, Cascade.

On cask at sraf. Golden with a thin head. Orange fruits, touching on red fruits. A sort of tangy orange or a sweet redcurrant. Nose better than taste but fairly balanced.

500ml bottle: BBD 28 Oct 15, shared between two on 24 Oct 14. Poured a red hued amber, thin, wispy white head and collar. Aroma was light molasses with a fruit basket close by, sprinkled with brown sugar. The taste the same: fairly sweet with the malts ruling the roost, the hops only appearing towards the end of each sip to give some balance and dryness to the mildly fruity brew.

Slightly hazy amber. A bit of sheepy pedio and some biscuity malts. A little tart in the finish...but not bad.

Bottle shared at Yespr’s. It pours clear amber with a small off-white head. The nose is wood, earth, varnish caramel, butter and must. The taste is wood, earth, dank, buttered popcorn, medicinal notes, twiggy, dirt and varnish with a dry finish. Light-medium body and average carbonation. Pretty poor all-round!
