A classic cask bitter: the choice of a growing number of discerning licensees. Fragrant aromas of finest English hops and malt. Dry but refreshing, with a distinctive lingering bitterness. Appetising and delicious. Adnams bitter is a category champion.

tonycaviar (75) - HUNGARY - OCT 29, 2011
Alkoholban gyenge, balzsamos ízű real ale, ami mindig más, függően a pincemester hozzáértésétől, és attól, hány napja van csapon. Teljesen szénsavtalan sötétbarna folyadék, de egy pillanatig nem zavaró a lapossága, mert annyira frissen és erősen komlós, hogy valóságos komlóteaként itatja magát. Valóban eléggé teaszerű volt, és nagyon finom.
