Commercial Description:
Cask; Regular. Also available in pasteurised bottle, brewed by Robinsons (see separate entry).
Wards Best Bitter is still brewed using the same ingredients and the same unique process it has always followed. The colour and flavours are derived from English Goldings aroma hops and a specialised Crystal malt. It has a distinct secondary fermentation process which is instigated by using a hopped priming sugar at a late stage in fermentation. This gives Wards Best Bitter its unique flavour characteristics.

Cask, The Central, St Andrews. Gold to copper with a thin white head. Floral, fruity aroma, some hop / malt balance. Mouth is fruity, hoppy, with some malt playing at the end. Finishes very bitter, dry and clean. Pretty straightforward.

Not bad, a little bitter, but after all it is its name. Was not boring, not heavy foam, but it stayed there for long. Good though.

Cask conditioned at The Kings Head, Bayswater, London. Amber coloured with fine bubbly head. It’s all about appearance this beer, very much a low flavoured, aromad beer, some hoppiness, dryishh bitterness over a sweet malty body, overall quite thin with a burnt biscuit background.
