The third beer in my 'Dunham Massey 4' tasting evening.

Brown 500ml bottle, best before Aug 2011, three and a half moths after it was tasted. The beer was bottle conditioned.

The beer poured with a slight haze, might have been too cold (chill haze), or some sediment may have been disturbed during the pouring: anyway the amber body of the beer was a tad cloudy. An off-white head of tight, small bubbles sat on top.

The smell and taste fell on the hop side of the fence, the malt contents being happy to play second fiddle in the blend. I normally prefer the maltier bitters, but this one seemed to suit being hoppier.

I found the mix a pleasant one, with the 4.2%ABV sitting just about right within the mouthfeel and flavours: in other words, a well balanced UK bitter.
