Pitfield Original Bitter

Cask. Mild floral aroma. Amber color with an off-white head. Medium body with light carbonation. Rather fruity flavors - suggests rhubarb - just comes to mind - as one of the components. Finish is light stone fruity with enough floral bitter to balance. Nice to drink.

Medium offwhite head. Amber body. Harmonic wooden caramelly malt aroma with resiny hop notes. Smoky, roasty notes. Dry faintly acidic taste of ashes, wood, and malts with caramelly, resiny notes. Some fruitiness. Slightly thin-bodied and a bit watery. Some sweetness, too. Soft, mild mouthfeel. Long, lingering aftertaste. A touch of metal. Not bad, but not really good, either. (0.5l bottle labeled "Pitfield Bitter" at 3.7%. From City Beverage Co, London.)

Bottled at RBESG ’07. Copper coloured. Aromaof hay and caramel. Medium sweet with some chewy, grainy malt. Lightly resiny finish with medium bitterness.

(RBESG 2007, Glasgow. Bottle) Amber color, offwhite head. Malty aroma but also quite alot of hops. Malty, bready flavor,some grassy hops.

These guys make a bewildering variety of beers! OK session bitter, lots of hops on top of full flavour malt. Somehow it does not feel wholly balanced.

Bottled at Chris O’s, March 07. Poured with a small, short-lived loose white head. Light copper in colour, and a woody, slightly sharp nose. Initial peppery burst fades, leaving sweetish overtones and a general astringency. A woody aftertaste, with hints of biscuity malt and a dry finish. Nothing particularly exciting.
