COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask; Regular.
A 100% malt mash giving a full flavour and a mid-brown colour. North Down hops produce a bitterness which is refreshing and morish. An outstanding session bitter. Hambleton Bitter won Champion Beer at the 1992 Burton on Trent Festival and Runner-up at the 1993 Doncaster Beer-Ex.

Cask gravity at Kent BF 07. Gold, bubbly white head. Citrusy bitter. OK, bit of yeast, some apple and lemon. OK, bit empty up front. Decent raspberry fruit finish. Fine.

Aroma seems to have minimal hops, slightly sweet biscuity malts. Taste is also sweeter than i wanted, not bitter enough basicly.

Nice and easy drinking but little to distinguish it from other bitters. A very pleasant bitterness to it though.

Ungstrup (22911) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - DEC 27, 2005
[Cask at GBBF 2005] A pale orange beer with a thin white head. The aroma is slightly buttery combined with some notes of hops. The flavor is sweet malty and hoppy, but also with some slight notes of butter, leading to s dry bitter end.
