COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
When not working hard producing Burleigh Brewing’s regular line-up of beers, our brew team dabbles in ‘A Bit on the Side’. And inspiration was abundant for this latest brew. Filtered through local lava rock, My Wife’s Bitter is our coastal interpretation of a classic English bitter, with roasted maltiness, a soft caramel character and dense, aromatic foam. Whats in in? Authentic English hops (Fruggles & East Kent Goldings), a blend of classic English speciality malts (crystal & chocolate), a centuries-old English yeast, beautiful Gold Coast water and the passionate commitment od our entire team. What’s NOT in it? Preservatives, additives, nasty chemicals, foam enhancers, pre-isomerised hop products, animal products, finings, GMO’s...or anything else that is not meant to be in beer.

Bottle from my beuatiful wife. Pours a weird brown copper colour with very small off white coloured head. Not the best looking beer. Aromas show plenty of mal though not overly sweet. Slight nuttiness with not much else going on. Flavours once again show off the malt though this is also a little odd. Not overly sweet. Mininmal hops on the palate. A little odd for my tastes.

Davros (919) - Melbourne, AUSTRALIA - SEP 18, 2011
Pours coppery brown with a small quickly fading head. Nose shows caramel, faint chocolate and nutty malt along with some soft spicy and earthy hops underneath. Flavours are focussed on the aforementioned malty characters. Finishes quite sweet with a soft bitterness. Could use more carbonation.

davidm (1246) - Melbourne, AUSTRALIA - JUL 31, 2011
Bottle 650ml. Very nice malty bitter. Aroma is great once it warms up, with notes of caramel, toffee, and nuts. Taste is sweet, with light bitterness, and average length. Palate is velvety, and medium bodied. Amber, with a frothy head.

ComradeK (466) - Blue Mountains, AUSTRALIA - APR 14, 2011
650ml bottle. Pours a clear copper, with a small white head which fades reasonably quickly, and leaves acceptable lace. The aroma is very malty, with toffee and caramel notes especially prominent. Delicate floral hops start it off, with some citrus coming in soon after. It moves on into a smooth toffee body, and a toasty malt finish. A quite straightforward bitter, but probably the most faithful non-English reproduction of the style I have encountered.

Bottle. Small off-white head over a clear nut brown-amber body. Aroma of caramel, brown sugar with a soda-water, minerally balanced finish. Medium bodied;moderate carbonation.

Clear, dull browny red body with a head that poured well but hardly lasted at all. Nutty, caramel, cardboard, metallic and grainy flavours.
