3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 haddonsman (1234) - Derby, - APR 16, 2008
Long time ago me and my brother rater here,
We was hitch-hikin’ down a long and lonesome road
All of a sudden, there stank a stinky ticker
In the middle of the road
And he said:
"Drink the best beer in the world"
or he’d eat our souls (our souls)
Well me and my rater,... we looked at each other,
and we each said...
"Okay."
And we drank the first beer that came out our bag,
it just so happened to be,
The Best Beer in the World,
it was The Best Beer in the World.
Look into our notepads and read our rate,
With a Bayseian weighting,
it was 4.8,
(it was really great)
Needless to say,
the ticker was stunned.
Whip-crack went his trolley,
And the ticker was done.
He asked us: " Be you scoopers?"
And we said, "Nay.
We are RateBeerians:
RATE!!!!"
This is not The Greatest Beer in the World, No.
This is just Tribute.
Couldn’t afford The Greatest Beer in the World, No.
This is just Tribute.
Not as impressive as cask, still has a deep bitterness licked with fresh flowery hops.

Bottle 500 ml from Globus - Marin (CH). Luminous amber with fleeting foam and very low crackling. Fruity aromas of malt, toffy, note of citrus.

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20 will1 (111) - Hampshire, ENGLAND - NOV 27, 2011
I have enjoyed this in its ubiquitous cask form across the west country and while it isn’t quite the same bottled this is a good bitter. Classic copper colour with a slightly creamy head. Citrussy but mainly malty aromas and flavours. Fairly bitter, almost sour on the aftertaste and quite strongly carbonated.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 prawlie (478) - Berkshire, ENGLAND - OCT 31, 2011
500 mL bottle from Tesco poured into a pint glass at home. A nice head on top of a clear amber beer. The aroma is pleasant, plum, and citrusy, very good. Hoppy, bitter with sour fruit and raisin, sweet and sour, with biscuity malt. I was tempted to give this a luke-warm review as I wasn’t that impressed the first time I tried it, but I like it more and more each time I drink it. A fine English/Cornish bitter.
