Review - Gritty McDuff's Best Bitter Ale
"Best Bitter was the first beer we ever brewed, way back in 1988 at our Portland Brew Pub. This true English classic has been the anchor of our draft selection ever since.
Best Bitter is a copper-hued and well-balanced ale with real old world integrity. We use fine Yakima Golding hop flowers in the brewing of this beer for a fine dry finish that compliments the malty palate. The taste captures the freshness of a hand-drawn ale that goes right from the conditioning tank to your glass!" --Gritty McDuff's Brewing Co.
This bitter pours a medium amber color with a white, fizzy head. Quiet body, clear, with very few bubbles. Aroma is of hops with flower notes, champagne, fruit, and a slight musty smell. Initial taste is smooth, but not sweet or bitter. Acidic. Oily on the mouth with soft carbonation.
