Best Bitter was the first beer we ever brewed, way back in 1988 at our Portland Brew Pub. This true English classic has been the anchor of our draft selection ever since.
Best Bitter is a copper-hued and well-balanced ale with real old world integrity. We use fine Yakima Golding hop flowers in the brewing of this beer for a fine dry finish that compliments the malty palate. The taste captures the freshness of a hand-drawn ale that goes right from the conditioning tank to your glass! Hops: Yakima Goldings

Bright amber. Aroma is of earthy, vaguely fruity hops, and caramel. Flavour shows toasty notes alongside the standard diacetyl and vague esters of the Ringwood yeast.

Beautiful cloudy reddish brown appearance. Acidic, very flowery nose with a some citrus notes. Medium body, a hint of pine needles. Balanced bitter finish. The acidity is quite dominant, and I'm afraid my bottle was rather oxidized.
