The beer uses English Goldings aroma hops and the colour and flavours are derived from a specialised crystal malt.
Brewing involves a unique secondary fermentation process. This is instigated by adding a hopped priming sugar at a late stage in fermentation. This gives Wards Best Bitter a distinctive malty aftertaste that lingers on the palate.
