dmaltese (2), Gainesville, Florida, USA does not count Mar 27, 2003 This beer got me through college. Rich head and pleasant bitterness accentuated by correct serving temperature and dispensing by hand-pump. Nice amber color and smooth finish. spicedad2 (78), Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 16, 2003 This is one of the best beers that I have ever had...shame The Wharf Rat is far from home. It's a well balanced English style ale which has the perfect amount of carbonation for the style and a great color. LordHedgehog (144), Westminster, Maryland, USA Sep 6, 2005 Bitter, yet mild. Hoppy, but malty. This is a great bitter for anyone not seeking an ESB, but a real best. FYI, this is the same beer that Bertha’s sells as Bertha’s Best Bitter. guzzler67 (1153), Hanover, Maryland, USA Aug 4, 2004 Hand pumped. Slightly hazy, bronze appearance with a small, but lasting, head that left a lot of lacing. Smooth, malty, modestly hopped taste. Reserved aroma, more fruity and flowery than hoppy. Medium-bodied with little carbonation. Mild, bitter, dry finish. My favorite domestic bitter so far. Consistently well made; an excellent session beer. obxdude10 (1390), Reading, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 16, 2002 Of course served on a hand pump at cellar tempature, kept a very nice soft creamy head, nice & bitter, very smooth
