Best Bitter Ale is a classic session beer, to be enjoyed amid good company and great conversation. A historically-inspired recipe brewed with Marris Otter, Pale Crystal, Flaked Corn, and Brown Malt. Hopped entirely with East Kent Golding Hops and fermented with a yeast strain hailing from South London.

Picked up a 500ml bottle from the cooler at the Appalachian Vintner in Asheville 9-20-22 for $5.99. No bottling date consumed 9-20-22.
Beer poured copper with a very nice white head with the original pour.
Nose is biscuits and toast forward.
Taste is spot on with the biscuity toasted malt base combines nicely with honey flavored hops that provide a nice bittering finish; 7/10 on my bitterness scale.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied and fairly refreshing.
Overall a really well executed ESB!
