Commercial Description:
This copper coloured gem is sure to please those in search of the ’Bitter side’ of life. Forget the description... it’s an explosion of hoppy bitterness. Don’t get angry... get Bitter. Bishop’s Best Bitter.

Clear copper poor with a thin off-white head. Aromas of caramel, fresh hops and a hint of orange zest. Very bitter mouthfeel, hits you more towards the end. Medium body, with a zesty mouthfeel and a dry finish.... Maybe slightly overcarbonated. Flavors are derived almost entirely from the hops...

Bouteille de 500 ml. La bière est de couleur cuivrée-orangée avec un nuage modeste qui lui sert de chapeau. Au nez des arômes de pin, de sapin, de fraises, de caramel et de houblon floral se présentent à mes papilles olfactives. En bouche la bière possède un corps mince-moyen. Des flaveurs de caramel suivie par du houblon sec, amère et tranchant en fait un excellent coupe-soif.

bouteille brune de 500ml. bière cuivrée passablement foncée, col très épais et durable, onctueux, il est blanc cassé. nez de houblon très agréable, un peu vert (houblon frais) belle bouche ronde, finale houblonnée très agréable, bonne amertume, équilibre parfait.

Bottle, poured a clear lt brown/coper/orange color with a large rocky white head. Aroma on this was bad, not just bad but real bad. Reminded me of a cross between a musty basement, bad chesse and dirty feet. Despite the wretched aroma I worked up some courage and took a sip. Wish I didn’t. Dry watery thin palate with not much original flaovr that finishes with a nice burst of lousy bitterness. Total drain pour.

Bouteille (avant mai 2007). Couleur rouge-brunâtre, mince mousse qui reste, belles traces sur le verre. Arôme de malt caramel, houblons floraux fruités. Goût torréfié, caramel, houblons agrumés, finale en amertume et saveur épicé. Affervescence faible à modérée, corps moyen. Excellente bitter, et même à date de péremption, elle semble fraîche.
