Brindle bitter is a a traditional, no nonsense, English, best bitter. It uses Challenger and Goldings hops to create a marvellous hoppiness which is balanced by a malty, chocolatey sweetness. At 4.2% abv and with an assertive, yet not overpowering, bitterness this is a fantastic all rounder.

50cl bottle from the Home Brew Shop, Aldershot. Bottle conditioned. Copper coloured, slightly hazy, but poured dead flat - no head or carbonation; nutty malt aroma; rather weak and watery body with some caramel malt flavours and a pleasant finish with a nettle-like herbal bitterness.
