A traditional Best Bitter brewed with Pale and Crystal malts and Goldings aroma hops. The result is a full-bodied ale with distinctive fruity caramel notes

Very little aroma, just a touch of grains. A grainier taste, but really this is just a dull brown bitter of the most tedious sort. A touch husky and plant-mattery later.

callmemickey (710) - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA - JAN 2, 2012
Jerusalem Tavern in London... not as good as the Organic... A: Copper body with a moderate cream white head which fades.. S: Slightly citrus/fruity with a bittersweet malt base T: The malts form a solid base which is accented with crisp orange flavor.. M: Crisp.. medium body.. lightly carbonated O: Alright for two.. no more after that before losing interest

Bottle. Pleasant aroma upon opening. Low carbonation and plenty of body considering its relatively low strength. Bitter but not overpoweringly so. Refreshing, sharp and pleasant.

Not the greatest looking, but its fine aroma is complimented by its fine bitter taste.

kuphish (351) - Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA - NOV 29, 2011
Bottle. Clear, orange body with a 1", creamy, off-white head. Sticky and lasting. Lovely malt aroma of breadcrust and light raisin. Some faint pear-ish esters. Raisin is a little heavier in the flavor and more prominent than the bready notes. Some light woodsy hops. Esters are faint. Light body edges towards a medium feel because of low carbonation. Nice and malty up front, but the balance is definitely toward bitter. Very nice, light, lingering malt flavors. Overall a tasty beer that I could drink all day!

Vaiz (1847) - Den Haag, NETHERLANDS - OCT 14, 2011
Bottle at home. Clear deep amber pour, solid white head. Aroma of spicy hops, some grass, somewhat floral and a hint of cinnamon. Flavor is bitter, dry and spicy. Decently hopped. Creamy texture, and decent body for the low abv. Not bad.

Kristall-König (1552) - Oldenburg, GERMANY - SEP 11, 2011
Süßlich-malziger Geruch mit hopfigen Einschlägen. Süßlicher Start, bitterer werdend. Auch über den Mittelteil hinaus wird die hintergründige Süße beibehalten. Erst im Abgang gewinnt das Bittermalzige die Oberhand, agiert jedoch weich. Gutes Bitter.Test vom 13.12.2008, Gebinde: Glasflasche
