Hand-pulled cask at Duke of Kent, Toronto. What a damn fine pint of bitter. Friend of mine -- a publican and CAMRA member from Nottingham, UK -- was over for a visit in August 1999 and we popped in and he couldn’t get enough of Wellington’s Best Bitter. Seriously said it was one of the best Real Ales he had ever tried. This bitter has a nice, clean pour to it and a slightly fruity taste/aroma. If you haven’t tried it, you don’t know what you’re missing.

Very good buttery bread aroma. Good bitter taste that is well balanced with a hoppy finish. Great session beer.

[275-20070421] Cask @ C’est What (Toronto, ON). Faint smell is like freshly baked bread with some grainy alcohol. Slightly hazy, light brown red body with a creamy long-lasting off-white head and thick lacing. Like drinking freshly baked bread in liquid form, slightly bitter background notes in the aftertaste. Very creamy medium body is a bit watery. Perfect temperature, love the feel -- exactly what I was looking for after writing a three-hour law & ethics exam...

I tried this cask-conditioned on tap. Solid head. Looks like nitro can product, but that’s the real deal. Mild nose, good though. Nice flavour. Subdued maltiness, with light hop. Little bitter, smooth but dry in the finish

Amber coloured. Rather malty, dry, balanced and well drinkable bitter.

Mildly fruity, toasty malt sroma with light spicy hops apparent. Clear, copper coloured beer with decent white head that lasts nicely. Pleasant malt character with beautifully understated fruity esters and a gentle balancing bitterness in the finish. Creamy mouthfeel and light medium body. Very thirst-quenching. A great session beer. Bottle.

341ml brown bottle. Poured orange/gold, capped with a small white head. Fruity aroma. Good malts, some caramel notes, finishes with some good hop biterness and orange notes.
