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.

Cask @ White Star, Stoke. Appearance is dark-ish gold, not quite copper. Fresh orange peel and freshly cut wood in the nose. Taste: yum. Deep, malty, herby, moderately sweet. A very decent ale when served well, but its relative ubiquity means it is often sampled in substandard condition. Have it in a proper real ale pub!

Hand-pulled pint at The Shakespeare, Coalport on the river Severn on 24 Aug 2013. Good amber/auburn coloured body, clear. The head white and full, showed some good lacing. Malted biscuity aroma, hints of toffee and caramel if you sniff long and hard enough, no hop content nose wise. Semi-sweet taste, as the smell suggested, the maltiness winning out over anything else. A hop bitterness does appear as the mouth dries. I think I enjoyed the slightly stronger bottled version.

Another ducking boring Engkiah Alw. How many do I have to drink at GBBF? It’s a mystery to me.

Cask at the Seven Stars, Rugby, 06/03/13. Clear dark amber with a decent sized off white head that retains well. Nose is caramel malt, light spice, apples, biscuit. Taste follows - fruits, suggestion of hops, caramel. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, some bitterness in the finish. Average bitter - its appearance and mouthfeel drag it up a few notches!

Golden coloured with a thick head but little flavour, plenty of smooth malts though.

Cambridge I think! Clear amber beer. Dry crisp palate. Nicely balanced. Tea like malt. Just a little bittering hop coming through at the end. Decent.

unclear caramelly light brown, smooth beige head. Mild aroma. Flavor is malty, grainy, bitter hoppy, not the usual bitter, flavor is more like a less roasted guinness. Some sugary sweetness towards the end. Untraditional

[Cask at the Hobgoblin, High Wycombe] Anber, slight white heaad. Toffee malt with orange fruit. Nothing spectacular, but it’s quietly comforting and mellow. One of the better mass-market bitters.
