An unforgettable best bitter adapted from a London brewery in 1880.
Bringing together a subtle and delicate balance of English malt and the new world zing of Australian hops.

Bottle, backlog April 2014. Clear golden body under a nice, foamy white head. Weak in aroma, some sweetish malt, hint of fruit and some hermetic vegetables. Taste is sweet, light malt, some fruit, biscuit and low bitterness. Medium body and short in aftertaste. Plain and boring.

Bottle. A dense, creamy, off-white head of two-fingers size forms over a clear golden body. Some floaties, and nice curtains. The aroma is pretty weak, with citrusy hops and a touch of grass and pine cones. The flavor has some bitterness, but not enough I think. Grass, pine cones, pineapple and some citrus notes. Canned fruits. Malts as well. Medium to full body with too much carbonation. Short hoppy finish. Not bad, but far from interesting. 140418
