L- Deep amber with something of a copper-brown hue. Pours with a 5mm head that's holding well (ps still there and 3mm high 15mins later = unusually great retention).
S- Very mild, just some grains.
T- Like a quite somewhat mild tasting version of the trad bitters I was weaned on in the 1970s. A vague fruit note though it's fleeting and I can't pin it down. Some toasted grains into a slightly hoppier dry than average finish.
F- Light, clean, refreshing. Would be eminently sessionable.
O- Lable refers to 'this golden best-bitter'. Interesting, down south you see the 'bitter' or 'best bitter' beers rarely these days. It seems to have been usurped by 'Golden Ale(s)' a lighter and hoppier sub-genre of the bitter style instead. This is a decent, well put together though somewhat unexciting beer. Would be good a good choice for somewhat more mature/trad ale drinkers.
500ml bottle, bought as part of a 3-pint/3-styles gift-pack from the Railway Museum in York. BBE: Nov-20
