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 conditioned - handpump - Wootton WMC. A yellow gold coloured beer with a whitish head and lacing. A very dry bitter both in taste and aroma. A little yeasty in some ways and thena bitter finish comes in. Sessionably low in ABV but not sure you could take too much of the dryness.
