COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
FBC Best Bitter uses all English hops. It is served via a nitrogen dispense system which creates a firm head of smaller bubbles. This allows us to serve the beer with a lower amount of CO2 and thus the flavor of the beer is not dominated by gas tingle on the tongue.

Review of the cask-conditioned best bitter Aroma: Slightly floral seems to be Kent Goldng but not noticable for a cask-conditioned beer Appearance: Poured a deep copper with nice clean white head which dissipated quickly Flavor: Malty flavors followed by a hint of spicy hop flavors... the hop bitterness seemed to have a little tea like characteristics Palate: balanced beer with a creamy finish lingers long enough to pause....

Tap. Amber with a foamy white head. Very light body. Some tea flavors. A little too watery and weak as a bitter, but it is smooth and easy to drink.

Not very bitter, but a good clean brew that went down pretty smooth. Definitely qualifies as good sportswatching beer.
