COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Bottle conditioned only; Regular.
Buckden Bronze Bitter is the first commercially brewed beer in the micro-brewery following a number of recipe iterations to the hop and malt types.
We obtained confirmation for CAMRA accreditation for Real Ale in the Bottle on 9th September 2009, and our labels now carry the CAMRA logo.
A golden-amber ale with gentle nut and caramel notes from the malt, complemented by a balancing hoppy sharpness. Bitterness derived from both hops and toasted malt builds in the dry finish.

Theydon_Bois (2957) - The ’Sham, Surrey, - JAN 21, 2013

Bottle at Chriso Snow Tasting, thanks to Chris, 20/01/13. Lightly hazed mid golden, very thin off white head. Nose is light piss, fruits, slightly sour. Taste follows, fruits, honey, sugars, a bit on the bland side. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, some bitterness in the dry finish. File under ’W’ !

Leighton (6894) - London, ENGLAND - APR 1, 2013

Bottle at the ChrisO Snow Tasting, London. Thanks to Chris, ultimate purveyor of random UK beers of dubious quality. Pours clear gold with a light, white cream head. Pale, bready malt nose with hints of grass. Light sweet flavor with nips of lemony citrus and white bread. Light bodied with average carbonation. Boring finish, some more pale malts and light hay. Bland.

568ml bottle (Snow@ChrisO)
Stinky mash aroma. Mashy body. A bit of a mess. Swimming pool quickly dominates the aroma, and then spoils the whole experience. Nope.

imdownthepub (8470) - Banbury, Oxfordshire, ENGLAND - OCT 13, 2011

Bottle conditioned, 568ml (1 Pint) from Dunster Village Shop, Dunster, Somerset as Dunster Beach Summertime Ale. Gold to amber with fizzy white head. Drying caramel malt bitter, quite light on the palate but really quite average, no real hop note to ponder on. It’s ok but no more than that.
