Adnams The Bitter (Bottle/Can)

Amber, rocky off white head.Malt nose.Unpleasant fore and mid taste. Nutty malt finish

500ml bottle enjoyed at home on a Friday eve. Dark, tan body colour under a creamy, off-white head, some of it remaining all the way. Fresh hoppy aroma with a light, sweet malty impact. Hoppy softness in flavour with hints of caramel malt. Smooth bitterness in the finish. Some crispiness in the palate that prevents the beer from getting a higher score (05.10.2007).

Can. Red/pale brown color and a creamy white head. Nice lacing. Smells of sweet malt, caramel, sweet fruit, citrus, toffee and some floral/spicy notes. Tastes of biscuity/toasted malt, fruit, apricot, citrus, some floral/spicy notes and hop bitterness. A bit dry. Really nice. But the carbonation is a bit too strong. Total score: 3.8 080321: On-tap at The Flying Barrel, Gothenburg. Less carbonated and lower alcohol content. Total score: 3.9

Bottle. Medium high fluffy off-white lasting head. Clear cobber body. Caramel oranges aroma. Caramel organges flavor with a nice amount of hops bitterness and just the right carbonation. Long bitter sweet aftertaste.

Pours out cloudy copper colored with a thick white head. Dry hoppy aroma. Taste is very smooth nice balance of malt and hops. Very distinct english bitter.

This bottled beer is great! ! Looked good and with superb hoppy taste. Imagine how good the draught is....

Great caramel aroma and flavor. Good head retention. One of the better Bitters I have had in a while. It would be nice to have this on cask in Britain...I would imagine it would be fantastic.
