Our eponymous Flower “Pots Bitter” is a blend of some of Hampshire’s finest malted barley with a selection of Challenger, Goldings and Northdown hops. Toffee amber in colour, with a balanced bitterness from the English hops paired with a subtle malted caramel sweetness from the malts, the award winning Pots Bitter is a traditional British beer and is named after the Flower Pots farm where beer was first brewed in the 1830’s.

Cask stillage at the brewery. As Pots bitter. Poured a clear copper colour, with a short-lived frothy white head. The aroma is malt, light yeast and caramel. The flavour is moderate bitter, light sweet, with a smooth, malt, biscuit, light caramel, light hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

Bottle from JSteve and drunk at home. Clear mid brown bitter colour. Lasting beige head . Light caramel aroma. Some earthy hops. Hey its a brown ordinary bitter that tastes exactly how you would imagine. Slightly malty slightly hoppy. I mean it is moderately bitter for a bitter.

Cask ale, half-pint at Guide Dog. Shared with Finn. Bright amber coloured body. Bubbly pearl white head leaving dotted spots on the glass. Moderate smell of apricot and caramel. Mid-sweet fruity flavours joined by caramel and bread. On the sweet side of bittersweet end. Fair enough. (Southampton 21.10.2019).

Cask at the Great British Beer Festival 2014, Day 3 - London. Pours clear, vibrant gold with a frothy white head. Nice bitter, with some easy grains, hay, lightly toasted bread, dough. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Good balance on the finish with slight bitter straw, leaves, lightly toasted grains. Solid one.
