A true award winning best bitter with universal appeal. Tiger Best Bitter is a classic example of getting the perfect balance between sweetness and bitterness. Crystal malt gives the beer its rounded toffee character. Tiger is the Official Beer of the Leicester Tigers.

Can’t believe I’ve not rated this before, but here goes. Cask at Five Lamps, Derby. Pours the classic bitter brown with a small frothy white head. Malts and biscuits in the aroma. Sweet and malty in the mouth with caramel coming through. Traces of hops and pepper can be found if searched for. Finish is fairly dry. Pretty bland to say the least.

A mate is from Leicester so have had this historical ticks number of times when visiting him. Is it also the beer they have on at the rugby ground but rebadged?

Pours a clear amber with a coppery tint and a small beige head. Aroma is orange marmalade and light malt. A moderately sweet malt taste, smooth in the mouth and a light citrus fruitiness. A very light (too light) bitterness in the finish, could do with more to cut through the sweetness.
