330 ml can, at Grand Café-Restaurant Loos, Rotterdam. ABV is 4.5%. There is a picture of Karl Marx on the can. Deep golden to orange colour, large white head. Reasonably citric aroma and flavour, hints of passionfruit, on a background of sufficient malts. Refreshing. Went well with my chicken satay.

It's got the looks: cloudy orange amber with a fluffy head of foam and great retention. A lot of citrus in the smell, coupled with some pine, flowers and malt. Lots of citrus in the taste as well, leaning towards grapefruit. Malt, grass and caramel are also present. A pleasantly bitter finish. Mouth feel is light and refreshing, which fits the style. Dunno what an "American bitter" is supposed to be exactly, but it tastes like a decent (but not outstanding) IPA.

very bitter for the lightness of this beer. It calls itself an American Bitter and I say this is only partly legit because of the American hop character but the Bitter part as an English beer style is not there in my opinion rather an Amercian Pale Ale with an unpleasant astringend and to pronounced bitterness.

Hazy orange color with off-white head. Aroma has a bright floral hoppy note but also some underlying, more earthy hops. Taste starts with a harsh, earthy hoppiness but overall it's not very bitter. Light body with high effervescence. Quite nice overall, classic bitter flavors but also aromatic hops on top.

"American Bitter" is the style they espouse. On-draught @ Kaapse.
