Cask at Fuggles Beer Cafe in Tunbridge Wells. Long day in the office babysitting an internal audit team from the mothership. Luckily they didn't want dinner with me so I could have some beers. God this one is good, and you could argue this is almost a perfect bitter. Beautiful in the glass, but who cares when it tastes like this. Huge bitter hops that cut across the palate with real mouthfeel and depth. Could I drink lots of it? Probably not and that's where it falls down. A perfect bitter is one I could drink all night and this may be a bit too much. It is still very, very good. I've come back to edit as I hit the next beer. This is huge flavour for such a low abv. This could have been a score of 5, but its just too much.
