Brewsters Bighorn Bitter

Brewed by Brewsters Brewing Co. - Alberta
Style: Premium Bitter/ESB
Calgary, Canada

Bottle: Orange-red amber with only a thin head. Thin caramel aroma. Very caramel-candied flavor, with just the barest thread of bitterness follow-thru. I’d put this in a Vienna category in a blind ... where’s the ESB-ishness in this? (#2893, 5/15/2007)

Golden with a hint of orange. Sweet and very fruity. A little watery, and not very bitter, but still perfectly drinkable.

Pours a amber brown with a creamy head. Looks like a nitrogen tap the way it was settling. Has an off-putting plastic taste that just doesn’t sit right. Not one of their better efforts.

Coppery gold in colour. Small lacy sticky head. Sweet grainy aroma. Flavour was slightly nutty with some hop bitterness, slight marmalade character. Light bodied.

In a word, watery. Nothing else special or not special about it. A palatable bitter, meeting minimum standard

A rich copper color and bubbly feel on the tongue. There was a very hoppy aroma, with a great balance in flavor. A bitter aftertaste left you wanting another mouthful. An enjoyable beer that reminded me of a weak Hophead IPA.

Tan colour, small head. Biting aroma. Not much taste at all. Smooth drink though. Much beter when combined with the Shaughnessy stout to create the black and tan..

Light brown leaning to amber. Thin head. Sweet fruity taste with a very light hop. Sharp grassy aroma. Like a decent IPA with something not quite right. Didn't finish and left me thirsty.
