You can spot a true original a mile off. Like our Original brew. Bristol born and made to stand out. Created from Maris Otter malt and a secret blend of English hops. Meticulously crafted before ‘craft’ was even a thing. Its distinctive bitter, clean and refreshing flavour has been Bristol’s go-to for good times since the 1970’s. From the first sip to the last drop, you’ll never taste a beer quite like it.

4.5% alk. E više nemrem smislit ove Lidlove pive... :-/ Sad kako pijem ove zadnje koje su mi ostale, i da su dobre nebi mi bile dobre jer su me psihički već dotukli ti Lidlovi Bitteri.

500ml bottle: BBD 2nd Sep 2018. Poured into an 'Old Speckled Hen' badged UK pint glass, vase shaped. Nice amber body, clean and clear, wispy white head. Nose has a malty dominance, as does the initial taste: toffee and caramel too the fore. The hops kick in late to balance the finish nicely, giving a dry a slightly bitter aftertaste.

Thanks Marko for buying and bringing this bottle! Dark golden, moderate off-white head. Toasty, light metallic, very low bitterness. Light dry and bitter. Kinda smooth, refreshing, medium body, moderate to high carbonation. Good.

Kicsi, gyorsan eltűnő hab vörösréz szín. Illata enyhén karamelles, fűszeres. Kissé fanyar, karamelles, fűszeres ízvilág. Könnyed, nem vizes, enyhén szénsavas, enyhén keserű. Kellemes ivósör.

Bottle, 0.5l. Clear deep copper pour with one finger off-white head. Lasting thin layer, good lacing. Nose pretty much usual for the style, malty with good hop character and some grassy notes. Medium body, softly carbonated. Thick texture, really nice and smooth. Mildly bitter taste with good malt sweetness in the background. Usual aroma, nothing exceptional but nicely balanced and refreshing. Notes of caramel, grainy. Touch of wood in the mouthfeel. Solid hop presence, grassy, some honey notes. Finishes dry with mild bitterness lingering on. Overall, enjoyable and well executed bitter.

Bottled 500ml. -from local Lidl Zagreb as Butcombe Original Beer. Clear dark golden/pale amber coloured, small white head, light malt and caramel in the nose. Sweet malty, caramel, light fruity, notes of grass and touch of metal with rather dry finish. Ok one.

Butcombe Original Beer. Poured a dark amber body with a tiny white head. Malty light aroma, fruity touches, bread, raisins, bubblegum. Flat, too flat mild taste, but actually interesting, tasty, light dark bread notes, vague bitterish herbal touch, cherry, creamy. A proper bitter really. Nothing too special, but I see no reason to be harsh about it. Unlike some of the others...
