Description
Bathams have become a family born to brew, with the sixth generation now involved in creating and serving a legendary beer of the Black Country.

Bathams Bitter, regarded by some as one of the finest in the country, would never have been if it was not for the pernickety tastebuds of pub regulars in a quiet Worcestershire village, and the brewing skills of Mr D.B.A (Arthur) Batham.

50cl bottle from Bernieโ€™s, Solihull, ABV 4.5%. Straw with a thin white head and lightly carbonated; malty aroma with a touch of citrus; sweet malt flavours to start, then becoming drier with a shortlasting burst of hops. An acceptable bitter, but nothing more.
