BCA as ’Best Bittern’ from Corks, Bristol. Poured a clear amber colour, with a frothy and short-lived off-white head. Aroma of nutty malt with some dusty hops. Flavour had a plenty of biscuity malt, reminiscent of plain chocolate digestives with an earthy bitter hop finish. A solid bottle conditioned bitter.

[i] [b] BCA Best Bittern (nice label) from the Dodgi’ Deli’, Cowley Road, Oxford, 28-04-08 [/i] [/b] Amber in colour with off white head. Good citrusy bite that lingers for a long while on the roof of the mouth, lacks subtlety and interest and yet I’m growing to quite like it and when I count up the scores I note that I’ve rated this higher than I expected. It’s not bad at all but not the best from Wagtail.
